Narrative Tools - Crafternoon Tea

Join us for an enjoyable Crafternoon tea and chat as part of the Bealtaine Festival At Home 2021. You are invited to come along, join in the conversation and we’d love it if you could share a story, a tool, or a piece of craft that is special to you. We will share some of the Narrative Tools project with you.

We will be sharing a video from Cushendale Woollen Mills and a crafter will join us to talk about their tools. It’s all about sharing and chat! Please do bring along a family member or friend to share the experience.

Numbers are limited, so early booking is recommended.

After registering and before the day of the event, you will be sent a free Narrative Tools Crafternoon Tea pack.

If you have any questions about our event, please contact Caroline Loughman on 083 019 3802 or email events@ndcg.ie.

NARRATIVE TOOLS

The Narrative Tools project is an online and postal intergenerational project hosted by the National Design & Craft Gallery (NDCG) with visual artist Caroline Schofield.

It explores a culture of making through creative connections and the importance of handing down skills within families & our communities.

KEEP WELL

The “Keep Well” campaign is part of the Government’s Plan for Living with COVID-19 to promote individual and community resilience.

DCCI & NDCG will focus on the campaign’s strand ‘Switching off and Being Creative’.

This programme encourages people at home to ‘switch off, be creative, and to learn something new’. It offers people of all ages and abilities an opportunity to engage with a series of online creative activities, and onsite activities at public locations (where possible within COVID-19 guidelines) all designed to promote wellbeing and resilience during COVID-19.
