Artist in Schools Residency, Grange National School, Co. Roscommon
Submitted by Kate Wilson on Tue, 21 Apr 09
This residency for Roscommon County Council, is a 50 hour project at Grange National School, Boyle, Co. Roscommon.
I am working with both classes in the school, (it's a two class school). With the younger children we are exploring the idea of the 'grange' which would have at one time produced the food for the monestry. With the older class we are using a broader theme of nature and spring for the project.
