For Samhain 2022 artist Caoimhe Dunn returned to Greywood Arts to create willow lanterns with the local community in Killeagh Co. Cork.
On November 6th, participants created a Lantern Procession through Glenbower Woods accompanied by drummer Tom Duffy and his crew.
Circle of Light - a new light installation over the Dissour River by Aoife Banville, launched the same night.
Over the Halloween break Caoimhe led workshops and participants created their own lanterns as well as helping make some larger lanterns for a parade!
