About ‘Casting the Net’ workshop
Cast the net and gather up what you find. Bring a token, a scrap, a found object from your journeys here and we will fill our net. Find a fragment of a story, a snippet of an old jumper, a sliver of something new, cast-offs, odds and ends. A leftover from your everyday life. Is it trash or is it memory? Come join us for an exploration of our journeys, our stories, our scraps.
Join artist Caoimhe Dunn for this workshop exploring found objects, stories and coming together. Participants are invited to bring some small scrap, old clothes, or found objects that you are happy to part with for this workshop.
