Age range: 10 years up – intergenerational family or friends (accompanied by an adult) In our Imbolc Letterpress workshop we create bookmarks, postcards or mini prints with our poetry or words inspired by Imbolc and St Brigid. We can think about our intentions for family and the world around us by setting intentions for biodiversity and ecological integrity. The workshop is designed around intergenerational groups of 3-4 working collaboratively on a composition. Using vintage metal type on a mobile 1942 Adana letterpress, we set the type upside down and backwards, to print a short line from a poem, a phase or word or verse which represent your intentions for the year ahead.Book your Free ticket here: Reserve Tickets – St Brigid’s Day Imbolc Letterpress Workshop with Angelina Foster – Newbridge Library, Thu Feb 1, 2024 4:00 PM - 6:00 PM (tickettailor.com) Group: Library Service Location: Newbridge
