Step into the mystical this Samhain with Take A Part Carlow Community Writer in Residence, Clifton Redmond. In this special writing workshop, participants will explore the boundaries between reality and imagination, inspired by the haunting themes of Asterisms by Amie Siegel, Sincere, or what you will by Christopher Mahon, and Quietly Dispelling the Dark curated by Colm Tóibín, who selected works from the Arts Council Collection.
Join us as we journey through words and ideas that reflect the ethereal and the unknown, perfect for this time when the veil between worlds is thin. Whether you're a seasoned writer or new to the craft, this workshop offers a chance to delve into the creative process and respond to the festival’s evocative themes.
The session takes place on Friday 25th October, at 2pm, and is free of charge. Booking is essential.
