Creative Workshops for Children:

 

Birr Vintage Week & Arts Festival,

Hullabaloo Children's Arts Festival,
and of course,

 

 

'Chocolate Fridays' / 'Chocolate Saturdays'

 

	No set time of year for these special two-hour creative workshops! They are an opportunity for children/adults to 'make and eat' Themes are usually 'craft' rather than 'art' orientated and have included clay modelling, painting pottery (which is fired off-site and returned for collection), paper-making and making greetings cards.
'Chocolate, Chocolate Saturdays' around Christmastime involve making your own chocolate treats for presents, such as truffles, chocolate biscuit cake and chocolate logs, as well as clever, inexpensive ideas for creative wrapping.
	Everyone gets Grainne's utterly delicious home-made chocolate treats with refreshments at the end of the workshops.

 

 

AUTUMN: Hullabaloo!

A new festival in Birr, for children, in late October. During schools break, organised by Offaly Arts Office, Birr Theatre and Arts Centre, Birr Library, Birr Castle and Tin Jug Studio, a wonderful variety of events and workshops is held for children of all ages.

These range from dance and juggling to film-making and photography and lots more going on around town at these various venues.

At Tin Jug Studio there are story-writing, mask/ghost/costume/lantern/'float the boat'-making and traditional games workshops....
