Discover the traditional art of cask repair and restoration, as skilled coopers showcase the tools, techniques, and dedication required to bring these historic vessels back to life. Learn about the craftsmanship and the rich heritage of cooperage in Ireland. Afterwards explore our Folklife Collection to view beautifully crafted cooper-made items and the associated tools of the trade.
