As part of their Samhain celebrations in Killeagh, Co. Cork
Greywood Arts invited the local community to create willow lanterns with artist Caoimhe Dunn.
Over the Halloween break Caoimhe led workshops and participants created their own lanterns as well as helping make some larger lanterns for a parade!
The night before Halloween participants took part in a Lantern procession through Glenbower woods accompanied by drummers lead by Thomas Duffy, Musical Director of Rhythm Riot.
