Small Puppets Take Giant Steps
A series of puppet making workshops themed around the legend of Irish Giant Finn McCool and the Scottish Giant Benandonner will be held in Larne at the end of March.
The 2 hour workshops, which are targeted at local primary schools, aim to explore the similarities and difference between the Irish and Ulster Scots traditions. The workshops are being held as part of the North East PEACE III Partnership’s Cultural Fusions programme (9b), and include construction and manipulation of puppets and combine expressive arts skills such as drama, music, storytelling, craft, design and technology. Two workshops are being held each day with a maximum of 30 children per workshop.
