Step back 700 years and unleash your inner medieval maker with artist Mary Conroy!
In this hands-on workshop, you’ll create your very own zine, a mini handmade book, inspired by the medieval Red Book of Ossory.
Learn the fascinating science behind how medieval monks made their inks and pigments and how the Red Book of Ossory was made.
Natural materials, will be used to grind, mix, and transform them into interesting and varied colours, just like they did centuries ago.
