This Heritage Week, join the Lacemakers Guild of Ireland and get ready to dive into the world of intricate Mountmellick Embroidery designs with this fun workshop tailored for kids!

This workshop introduces children to Mountmellick Embroidery, gives them the history of the embroidery including Australian Mountmellick. We will teach the children how to create their own design using many upcycled materials. We will have some fun facts about Mountmellick and Australia and will discuss the trip to Australia that many of the young Mountmellick lacemakers took in the 1800s. The young designers will complete their own design to take home with them.

Friday 8th August, 11:00 - 12:00

Located in the Learning Resource Room, off Clarke Square. This workshop is suitable for children aged 4-8 years. Children must be supervised at all times.
