Sounds of Summer - Listen In
On Sunday 10th July we'll be exploring sound in a workshop entitled Listen In with artist Jane Groves. You will be able to construct a wind chime from all sorts of materials.

Wind chimes have been used as musical instruments for centuries.
There are Japanese ones:


and ones made of dragonflies:


and ones made from all sorts of exciting materials:
We will be making them from willow and 'found' materials such as bells, crockery, cutlery and copper tubes. You can investigate these noisy materials and choose your favourites to add to your wind chime. What will yours sound like?

It’s almost sold out so book your tickets at www.ark.ie
