This Cruinniú na nÓg we are excited to invite children ages 3 – 12 to explore the world of award-winning illustrator and Clonmel native, Roisin Hahessy.

This June 6^th STAC Chapel will transform into a vibrant and engaging space for storytelling and creativity. Colourful, characterful illustrations will come to life. Telling Stories With Pictures will encourage children to look around, to imagine big, and tell their own visual stories.

The day will begin with a relaxed story-time by Mary Hickey, perfect for little ones. Mary will breathe life into a variety of Roisin’s books, in a calm, sensory-friendly atmosphere.

In the afternoon STAC’s talented tutors will provide hands-on activities inspired by the art of Roisin’s uniquely charming illustrations. Children will make their own characters and tell their own stories through arts and crafts. Activities will include animal mask-making, collage, homemade tiddly-winks, and much more, with a special appearance by Roisin herself, who will lead children through drawing some of her own favourite characters!‍
