all in the making

We facilitate Process Art workshops for children, designed to stimulate their curiosity, creativity and confidence.

Founded in Bray in 2015, we now have studios at:
Killruddery House and Gardens in Bray
Collis Sandes House, Tralee, and
Muckross House and Traditional Farms in Killarney

“I cannot express enough how wonderful our experience was at Me and the Moon. The staff were absolutely lovely, and their dedication made the day truly special…”

Process-driven and inclusive

Each individual creates work unique to themselves, rather than replicating teacher's sample. We allow for creative play and experimentation, encouraging development of each individual child's imagination, creativity and confidence.

As well as our private workshops, we are honoured to also work regularly with vulnerable groups in our communities including children living in Direct Provision as well as adults with Autism.

Projects funded with thanks by Kerry Education and Training Board (ETB), Kerry Local Youth Creative Partnership (LCYP) Kerry County Arts Office, Autism Supporting Diversity (ASDI) and Creative Ireland.

We’re a growing team of qualified teachers and creative professionals who care deeply about providing the best possible creative platform for children of all backgrounds.

Core Values

Mutual Respect

Many of our colleagues are creative professionals and work with Me and The Moon alongside their own studio practice. We encourage this as we believe it maintains relevance and improves our teaching practices. We actively encourage mixed ages of children at our workshops, promoting peer-to-peer learning and mutual respect.

Sustainability

Sustainability is a core value of our organisation and where possible we source recycled and sustainable materials as part of our workshops. Our main goal is to help to grow children's confidence and inspire creative problem-solving.
