The 5th class girls from Scoil Iosaf, Newcastle West participated in a creative 6 week Foróige run programme in ceramic work and movie making. The girls enjoyed designing and making their own masks and plates from clay. They also planned and made their own movie. At the end of the programme, the girls organised and held a very successful art exhibition and movie viewing night for their families at the Foróige Youth Centre in Newcastle West. A great night was had by all.
