Laser Cut Word Puzzle

Learn how a laser cutter can turn your ideas into real objects — from art and signs to name tags and jewelry. In this hands-on workshop, you’ll create a custom puzzle using a word, phrase, name, or memory that’s meaningful to you.

Using layered wood or acrylic, you’ll design and assemble your own puzzle, then decorate it with vibrant paint markers — or leave the layers unglued so you can create a themed collage or photo display behind the letters. No experience needed — just bring your creativity and we’ll guide the rest.

This event is for ages 10-12 years.

  • Cruinniú na nÓg 2025 at South Dublin Libraries

    Cruinniú na nÓg is Ireland’s national day of free creativity for children and young people under 18 — and the only celebration of its kind in the world. As part of the Creative Ireland Programme’s Creative Youth Plan, it offers young people across the country a chance to express themselves through hands-on creative activities — all completely free! This year at South Dublin Libraries, we’re turning up the volume with our theme: “Loud at the Library” — a joyful celebration of all things music. From the rhythm of traditional Irish tunes to the elegance of classical music, from spontaneous library busking to instrument-making workshops and beat-driven sessions, we’re filling our branches with sound, creativity, and community spirit. Whether you’re a young musician, a curious listener, or just want to make a little joyful noise, there’s something for everyone in this year’s Cruinniú na nÓg line-up. Join us and make some noise — in the best way possible!
