with events in Glenbower Wood & at Greywood Arts, Killeagh Cork

Pre-Festival Workshops
Bealtaine Banners Creative Workshop
Thursday April 17th
11am – 1pm OR 2pm – 4pm

Friends and fans of Glenbower Wood are invited to explore its spring and summer sylvan colour palettes through a FREE design workshop with artists and designers from Greywood Arts and Chapter Design.

Participants will learn to apply design principles such as pattern and repetition in the creation of large scale banners that will set the stage for events at this year’s May Sunday Festival.

We’ll playfully design individual mini flags before collaborating on bigger ideas. We envision these banners will be linked into the trees beside the playground in Glenbower Wood, showing our community’s creativity and pride of place.

Great for adults and families with kids age 7+

Places are free but limited, so booking on Eventbrite is advised.

In addition to our design event, we will also hold a Sewing Up Day on Wednesday April 23 from 11am.
Volunteers with some basic sewing skills are invited to help fabricate the flags. Experienced sewers will be on hand to guide the process.

If you are interested in taking part in the sewing up day, please email us directly for further details to greywoodhq@gmail.com

This event is kindly funded by Cork County Council Arts Office and Youghal Credit Union.
