These sessions will take place between the Clonoulty Community Hall, our new pop-up event space \u2018Bean Together\u2019 and at the Clonoulty Community Garden.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Children will explore local food systems, slow making and the environment through traditional crafts such as letterpress printmaking, ceramics and textiles. They will design objects, menus and spaces. Together they will imagine a real community garden caf\u00e9 shaped by young voices.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>The project asks simple questions: How can we use less? How can we make things last longer?
