What you will do

Art teacher Kate Kelly runs the sessions for children and their grown-ups at Galway Rowing Club. The approach centres on exploring materials at each child’s pace, rather than everyone producing the same finished object. Wear clothes that can get messy.

Planning your visit

Sessions run on 11 and 17 October only, with separate age groups. Each lasts an hour and costs €8 per adult and €8 per child; children need a ticket-holding adult. The 12.30pm session is relaxed on both dates, but the age group differs between the two days.
