It definitely was an art attack at Castle Tower School in Ballymena. Ten enthusiastic young pupils took part in an art project with a difference. What do you do with hurling sticks, produced by our local Économusée artisan Scullion Hurls, if they just don’t pass Michael’s very high standards? You paint them! And that’s just what happened at Castle Tower School. The Christmas themed workshop was lead by retired teacher and local artist, Joanne Campbell. www.facebook.com/joannecampbellartist

We were joined in our workshop by Mayor of Mid & East Antrim Audrey Wales and Principal Raymond McFeeters.
