About this event

Drop in to our Learning Resource Room to explore ogham script, the earliest form of writing found in Ireland, and learn all ancient manuscript techniques.

During this craft drop-in workshop, use vellum, a quill, and oak gall ink, to write your secret message in ogham on a mini bookmark, just like the scribes of early medieval Ireland. Afterwards, don’t forget to the visit the ‘Words on the Wave: Ireland and St. Gallen in Early Medieval Europe’ exhibition to see the manuscripts on loan from the Abbey Library of St. Gall, Switzerland.

No booking required. Located in the Learning Resource Room, First Floor. Not wheelchair accessible. This workshop is for families.
