Creative Hubs

This week, visual artist began a 3-week residency in Ballyfermot Library. 2nd class pupils from St Raphael's Primary School put on their detective hats to investigate the fascinating lore of 'The Lost Kingdom' meddling in the world of history, imagination and fantasy!

1st to 6th classes are becoming ‘Nature Detectives’ with artists and Kata Varnyu in Ballyfermot, Cabra, Central and Coolock libraries.

The classes were invited to explore chameleons and other creatures in nature that change colour to camouflage themselves, creating colourful background and creatures that almost disappear!
