The Dream Factory was a Visual Arts and
Drama workshop hosted by the Axis Centre Ballymun of which the Visual
Arts part was facilitated by two Artists; Thomas O'Connor and Rebecca
Hughes with assistance from students from the National Collage of Art
and Design. This was a two week arts project where two age groups (8-10yrs) and (10-12yrs) had the choice of creating a world, the characters that live there and the stories that unfold through art or drama. "The overarching aim of the Visual Arts workshop was to provide an environment where participants could develop the skills, materials and processes to create the characters, the places they inhabited and their stories relatively unfettered directly from imagination." During the two weeks everyone had the opportunity to experience everything from drawing, painting and storyboards to clay-work and model making. By the end everyone took home a portfolio of two dimensional work and models of their characters and worlds. At the end of the two weeks there were performances and installations of the work that had been produced attended by family and friends of the participants. Opposite are some examples of the work produced with the afternoon group (8-10yrs).
