The Wishing Tree workshops created wonderful results with a group of participants who learned new skills in lantern sculpture making with lead artist Tom Meskell, in April of this year. Participants on this workshop included community leaders, artists and facilitators.
This project is funded by the International Fund for Ireland and is part of the Culture Cavan project.
