For 2019 Creative Rathangan – Meitheal propose to deliver a programme of work from June to November, which includes a series of workshops and seminars to benefit the local schools and community.<\/p>\n
Four days of workshops will be led by environmentalist Michael Jacob and artist Monica De Bath, entitled Who Else Lives Here?. <\/em>They will be working with local national schools and children will be working outdoors, where they will be encouraged to observe and\u00a0get to know\u00a0the creatures that live in the area. They will then research these creatures and their life cycles, making drawings along the way and creating their own imaginary creatures and habitats. This work will then be put on display for their\u00a0schools, families, and the general public to\u00a0observe.\u00a0This project will combine environmental and scientific studies with the creativity of art, to get children to become actively engaged with and more appreciative of their surrounding environment.<\/p>\n A series of seminars and walks\/re-enactments have also been planned with Laurence Fullam, Michael Jacob, and Monica De Bath. These will be open to the public and will focus on local history and environmentalism.\u00a0For example Healing the Wound, <\/em>a seminar examining the history of Sphagnum moss and its medicinal qualities, which\u00a0will be accompanied by a walk in which participants will recreate the process of gathering and making WW1 wound dressings.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":26,"featured_media":7713,"template":"","class_list":["post-7712","event","type-event","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\n
