Bring your little one along to the Sean O’Casey Community Centre, for a creative workshop for 1-3 Year Olds with artist Tamao Oka!
This workshop is part of our Hugh Lane Gallery’s Explore & Learn offsite programmes during the Gallery’s period of temporary closure.
Let’s discover the world of artist Richard Gorman through music and play. We will sing together, move like rolling circles, and use our hands to create beautiful, round sun-catchers. A fun, rhythmic introduction to art and light for the littlest creators! With artist Tamao Oka. €5, booking essential on Eventbrite. One ticket provides entry for one parent AND one child.
Booking essential and space is limited. One ticket gives access to one child AND one parent/guardian and parents remain with their children throughout.
Location:
SEÁN O’CASEY COMMUNITY CENTRE, 18-26 St Mary’s Rd, East Wall, Dublin, D03 AY74

Bio
Tamao Oka is a Japanese-born artist-educator and storyteller based in Ireland. Originally trained as a pharmacist, her path has gently unfolded toward education, art, and the world of story. For over a decade, she has nurtured warm, imaginative spaces for young children through a baby and toddler group and a small Japanese children’s library.
She received her Diploma in Steiner Waldorf Early Years Education in 2016, and its rhythms quietly shape her work. In schools, galleries, and libraries, she weaves handcraft, visual art, and storytelling into shared creative experiences.
She also continues her exploration of narrative through storytelling study groups in Japan, while in Ireland she shares stories through kamishibai and puppet theatre—offering moments of connection across cultures, languages, and generations.
