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.

Inclusivity is a major pillar of our organisation and we have the pleasure of helping vulnerable communities by working with families living in direct provision in Ireland, as well as organisations such as ASDI (adults with Autism).

Founded in 2015 by Sheena and David Fortune.

With 20 years in the creative industry behind us, we bring a wealth of knowledge and a passion for nurturing creative thinking and confidence in children and young people.

We founded Me and The Moon on the same month that our first child was born. Quite the leap of faith and, although our timing was a little crazy, we’ve never looked back.

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.

Inclusivity

The nature of process art is that of individual creative problem-solving. Each participant makes work unique to themselves and their own abilities. There are no comparisons and no mistakes. We support those facing barriers to creative education such as geographic, social or financial barriers, with projects funded by Kerry County Council, Wicklow County Council, Kerry Local Creative Youth Partnership and Creative Ireland.
