Lime & Learn with Edward Byrne

  • Workshop

Join Edward Byrne of the Traditional Lime Company, use a trowel and hawk and learn about the unique properties of lime and why it is best for old buildings, and discover its many uses in the construction of the Georgian buildings of Birr, as well as the many vernacular buildings throughout County Offaly. Enjoy the opportunity to mix lime and wet dash a wall, the traditional way.

Suitable for children aged 12 – 18 years old, this event is free but places are limited so booking is essential. Bookings can be made via Eventbrite. 

Due to the popularity of these workshops, should you subsequently be unable to attend, we would be grateful if you can notify the workshop co-ordinator by email at Emmeline.henderson@igs.ie

Please wear old clothes and arrive 10 minutes prior to workshop start time. Please be advised the parents/guardians must remain with children for the duration of the workshop.
