Myths, Fables, and Fairies
Join us on Saturday, May 9th from 4:00pm for Myths, Fables, and Fairies, a workshop with Ann V. Quinlan!
This will be a 90 minute workshop, with a Q&A following. Light refreshments will be available, and doors open at 3:30pm.
Like a pot of strong Irish tea, Irish native Ann V. Quinlan is steeped in an unending discovery of Ireland’s ancient past. In “Myths, Fables, and Fairies”, Ann draws on childhood memories of open fields, woodland fairies, and the joy of living close to the earth. She remains connected to ongoing discoveries by Irish archaeologists and storytellers. The workshop will connect the vivid, mythic past of Ireland with the achingly beautiful landscape of today.
General Admission entry is $25, or snag priority seating for $40. Act fast – general admission goes up to $35 at the door, and priority seating is only available in advance!
