Hands-on History – Making Medieval Ring Brooches
Children have the opportunity to get hands-on with the medieval past, as they join Donna Gilligan from Scéal Heritage to create medieval ring brooches, a common piece of jewellery worn by men, women, and children in the Middle Ages. Children are introduced to information on jewellery and fashion in medieval times, and are guided to make their own gold or silver ring brooch, which they then personalise with colourful gemstones and metallic messages. Suitable for children between the ages of 7 – 13. Spaces are limited so prior booking is required for this event taking place in Stradbally Library.
