Join musician Ríona Sally Hartman for a playful creative music-making workshop for 5 – 7 year olds and their grown-ups. Together, we’ll explore musical improvisation and mark making inspired by the woodlands. In the workshops together we will become an impromptu forest choir, using our voices, and natural materials like twigs and leaves, to bring the trees’ stories to life. Then we’ll document our sounds with mark making and create a large scale graphic representation of our voices together. A joyful, hands-on adventure in sound, nature, mark making and creativity!

This worlkshop is for children and their adults to make collaboratively. Children cannot be dropped off.
