Free Calligraphy Workshops for Children

BOTH WORKSHOPS ARE NOW FULLY BOOKED

Carlow County Museum presents two unique calligraphy art workshops with Tim O’Neill, one of Ireland’s finest calligraphers.

During the workshops, Tim will reveal the secrets of our medieval Celtic designs and students will learn that it’s ‘knot’ difficult to draw these impressive world-famous designs when you know how!

In the 7th and 8th centuries, monasteries in County Carlow were producing fabulous books made of vellum. A number of these books survive to this day, including the Book of Mulling from Saint Mullins and the Calendar of Willibrord from Rath Melsigi, Milford.

 

Places are limited to 15 students per workshop. Children are asked to bring colouring pencils and/or markers.

Workshop times: 12pm-1pm | 2.30pm-3.30pm

Places must be booked by emailing:
museum@carlowcoco.ie or calling the museum on 059 9131554. 

This event is part of Cruinniú na nÓg, a day of free creativity for children and young people. For details on other events in Carlow you can visit their website.
