Building on the success of previous creative projects, this initiative empowers a group of Headway clients &#8211; many of whom have found renewed purpose through weaving &#8211; to share their skills and stories with the wider community.<\/p>\n<p>Running from September to early November 2025, the project will see these individuals co-design and deliver a series of inclusive weaving workshops in Ballincollig. With support from artist Lucy Hyland and Headway staff, participants will guide small groups through the basics of weaving, offering a hands-on introduction to this calming and expressive art form. Each session will be carefully planned to accommodate the needs of both the facilitators and attendees, creating a welcoming space for creativity, conversation, and connection.<\/p>\n<p>The workshops are more than just craft sessions &#8211; they\u2019re a platform for storytelling, skill-sharing, and building confidence. For the Headway group, many of whom have faced significant life changes following their injuries, weaving has become a powerful way to communicate, connect, and reclaim a sense of identity. Now, they\u2019re inviting others to join them in discovering the joy and wellbeing benefits of this accessible art form.<\/p>\n<p>The project will culminate in a local display of the woven pieces created during the workshops, celebrating creativity and resilience.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":0,"featured_media":37273,"template":"","class_list":["post-37272","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>Weaving Workshops for All - Creative Ireland Programme<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Weaving Workshops for All is a community project led by clients of Headway, a national organisation supporting people living with Acquired Brain Injury (ABI).\" \/>\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\/weaving-workshops-for-all\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Weaving Workshops for All - Creative Ireland Programme\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Weaving Workshops for All is a community project led by clients of Headway, a national organisation supporting people living with Acquired Brain Injury (ABI).
