Drop-In Music-Themed Salvage Craft Workshop

Join us at Clonmel Junction Arts Festival for a festive, music-inspired salvage craft workshop with artist Rhoda Kinsella!

Taking place on Friday 11th December at 10:30am in The Platform (opposite Regatta), this relaxed, drop-in workshop invites participants to give old music sheets a new lease of life by transforming them into beautiful Christmas papercraft creations to take home.

With all materials provided, it’s a lovely opportunity to get creative, try something new and enjoy a little festive crafting. The workshop will also offer a gentle introduction to The Salvage Symphony, a three-year Shared Island Initiative funded by Creative Ireland. Bringing together music communities in Clonmel, Co. Tipperary, and Ballymena, Co. Antrim, the project celebrates a shared love of music and a commitment to sustainability, exploring new ways to give unwanted materials a second life through creativity.

No previous crafting experience is needed, and everyone is welcome to take part at their own pace. Whether you’re a seasoned crafter or simply curious to try something different, come along, get creative and make something special this Christmas! This is a free event with no reservations needed.

Please note: All children must be accompanied by a responsible adult for the duration of the workshop, and children under the age of 12 may need a helping hand with their creations!
