We recently facilitated three beautiful family art workshops for the wonderful Kilkenny Single Parent Community, supported by Kilkenny Creative Ireland.

Over the course of the three workshops, six families joined us, each with around 2 to 4 participants to create something truly special. Each member of the family created leaves in a single colour, and these were then combined into a unique tree artwork representing the family’s connection and creativity. The finished piece was framed and gifted to the family as a keepsake.

Some brilliant moments of connections were shared throughout the workshops, from a young boy who said the best part was “doing something together” and a dad who left inspired to do more creative rubbings with his daughters in the future.

A heartfelt thank you to Juanita from the Kilkenny One Parent Community for this beautiful collaboration, Kilkenny County Council CreativeIrl for the support and Foróige Drum YouthCentre for the space.

Two lovely sessions with the kids in Slieverue over the past couple of weeks for our Printing Party workshop https://conscious-crafting.com/printing-party-experience-page/, led by facilitator Rebecca.

The group was full of energy and ideas — just what you'd expect when working with younger ones! Over the two sessions, we talked about parties and how some of the things we use can harm animals or the environment. The kids had loads of suggestions and really got into it.

They worked together in groups, created their own printed bunting, and were rightly proud walking away with something they’d made from start to finish.

We’re back in August with more creative fun for the kids in Slieverue.

A recent Celtic symbols workshop https://conscious-crafting.com/product/celtic-symbols-workshop/ for Craft Zone at the BRILL Family Resource Centre focused on exploring the various Celtic symbols and their meaning.

Participants connected each with a different symbol and engaged with techniques including carbon paper transfer, oil pastel and water color layering.

For many this was the first time using these materials and the group thoroughly enjoyed creating their symbols and sharing the meanings of them in the group.

Our pop up rock painting https://conscious-crafting.com/product/rock-talk-workshop/ at Dunbrody Abbey was a playful celebration of colour, creativity and good old-fashioned mess!

Facilitated by Rebecca, the afternoon welcomed a bunch of kids diving into the creative flow in their own way — from tiny hands layering dots and dabs to confident older kids carefully planning their patterns. Some were shy, others made themselves right at home, and one little girl threw out the rules entirely, covering her rock (and hands!) in joyful swirls and splashes of colour.

The Craft Zone workshops at the BRILL Family Resource Centre started with Rebecca guiding a lovely group of ten women through a gentle exploration of mindfulness and mandala painting. Many were new to each other, starting quietly, but after the tea break, the room shifted into connection and conversation.

The workshop’s conscious theme encouraged participants to see pebbles not just as stones, but as playful tokens of imagination and memory. Some connected with this idea right away, while others discovered its meaning through the creative process itself.

Rebecca shared a personal childhood story about using pebbles as pretend money in games, which instantly resonated with the group. Materials were freely shared, and participants settled into their own creative rhythms — some deeply focused, others enjoying the simple joy of making.

One participant said she thought the task would be “too simple” but found herself completely absorbed. Another described the experience as calming and grounding — a much-needed moment of mindfulness in a busy week.

By the end, the group had not only crafted, but also woven stories and shared reflections — turning simple stones into meaningful treasures.
