Developed in response to local feedback, the project offers inclusive, affordable, and accessible workshops for people who are seeking meaningful social engagement in the Carrick-on-Shannon area.<\/p>\n<p>Led by local artists in collaboration with the Social Prescribing Link Worker and Breffni Family Resource Centre, the workshops will explore a range of art forms including batik, glass fusing, lino printing, collage, journaling, and willow weaving. These sessions are open to all, with a focus on welcoming those who may feel marginalised or disconnected.<\/p>\n<p>Participants will be supported in expressing themselves through hands-on, creative exploration. The process will be documented through photography and journaling, helping individuals reflect on their journey and continue their artistic practice beyond the workshops.<\/p>\n<p>The project will culminate in a community exhibition, celebrating the work created and the connections formed. By blending traditional and contemporary art forms, <em>Crafting Communities<\/em> offers a vibrant, supportive space where creativity becomes a tool for wellbeing, inclusion, and community building.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":0,"featured_media":36529,"template":"","class_list":["post-36528","event","type-event","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.9 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Crafting Communities \u2013 A Creative Wellbeing Project - Creative Ireland Programme<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Crafting Communities \u2013 A Creative Wellbeing ProjectCrafting Communities is a new arts initiative designed to reduce social isolation and foster connection through creativity.\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.creativeireland.gov.ie\/en\/event\/crafting-communities-a-creative-wellbeing-project\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Crafting Communities \u2013 A Creative Wellbeing Project - Creative Ireland Programme\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Crafting Communities \u2013 A Creative Wellbeing Project Crafting Communities is a new arts initiative designed to reduce social isolation and foster connection through creativity.
