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

During this craft drop-in workshop, experience what it was like to be a scribe in early medieval Ireland by using vellum, a quill, and oak gall ink, to write your secret message in ogham on a mini bookmark to take home with you.

No booking required. Located in the Learning Resource Room, First Floor. Not wheelchair accessible. This workshop is for families. Children must be fully supervised by a parent or adult who is in loco parentis.
