Hello,
I am with Irish Fibre Crafters, a new craft initiative located in Ardrahan Village Square. We hope to be a resource for schools, and will also be running Summer and Easter camps.
We thought perhaps your school/parents may like to know about our April 2-day spinning and weaving Easter Camps for children ages 11-13 and 14-16.
One of our main aims is to help grow interest in and practice of these traditional Irish crafts, and to grow the use of Irish wool in crafting. We figured letting the local schools know that we are here (we open on Sat, 23 Feb) would be a good way to spread the word about traditonal fibre craft! We encourage people to drop by the space to watch us at work, see what can be created, and to have a coffee and a chat. There will also be fibre craft workshops for adults.
Our Easter Camps will be: Ages 11-13 on 15 & 16 April, 10-2pm, and ages 14-16 on 22 & 23 April, 10-2pm.
Cost will be 60€ for a two day camp. We provide all materials, and the students will go home with a completed weaving, and hopefully a growing interest in traditional Irish craft!
We are happy to answer any questions!
Thank you,
Sandra King

If you'd like to read a bit of our mission statement:
ln this public space, there will be an opportunity for social exchange in a rural community. IFC is
located in the square in Ardrahan in an open space where weaving looms and spinning wheels
will be used 5 days a week. The public can come in, watch, ask questions and enroll in various
textile classes. School groups will be encouraged to take part and IFC will actively participate in
local as well as national events. IFC will be working with the Mens Shed in Gort to develop and make drop spindles, mini looms and other textile equipment that we will use with our classes, events and children's camps.
Our history: Over the past 5 years, a group of spinners, weavers and dyers known as Midwest Spinners has
grown from 3 members to 22. We are approached to demonstrate and teach at various cultural and heritage events, ie Cragganowen, Yeats Tower, Woolapalooza at Airfield, UL through Raheen School inTuamgraney, Taste of Galways Past, Project BAABAA, Dysart O'Dea Castle Battle Reenactment, and others. These activities will continue through IFC and we'll be working closely
with the Heritage Council and Project BAABAA in 2019-2020. The community have been very receptive and we are happy to say that our activities have been well received.

Dear Anna,
I trust this finds you well, and that the children and teachers are enjoying the sunshine.
With children who have additional needs and their families in mind, I'm writing to let you know that I'm running an integrative healthcare service in Kinvara, in the premises of Dr. Matt O'Flaherty's Medical Clinic. I have a particular interest in supporting people in managing stress in their lives, and promoting resilience and regulation of the nervous system. My services include reflexology and craniosacral therapy. Alongside the hands-on aspect of the treatments, where appropriate I offer clients skills they can practice and use in daily life to help feel more centered and settled. Nutrition and lifestyle factors that support optimal health are also considered.
Having worked as an Occupational Therapist in children's disability services and in CAMHS, I see huge value in supporting the wellbeing of the whole family. Therefore, I'm offering a 15% discount to parents of children with additional needs. My standard rate for a consultation or treatment is €60 per hour. Children's sessions may be shorter than an hour and are charged proportionately. As you'll be aware, often the siblings of children with special needs also benefit from some support for their resilience and regulation.
Please don't hesitate to give me a call on 087-6606650 if you would like to have a chat. You can find more information on my website www.jennylambert.ie
Warm regards,
Jenny Lambert
