About this Event

Science Week Workshop – St. Canice’s Cathedral & Round Tower, Kilkenny

Saturday 16th November /11am – 12.30pm / 8 – 12 year olds / Free

Join us on Saturday 16th November for a Science Week event! Artist Mary Conroy will guide our young participants to create their own personalised notebook. Taking the 700 year old Red Book of Ossory, currently on display at the Cathedral, as our starting point; the group will look at how information technology has changed over the centuries from simple pen and ink on vellum to letterpress on paper.

The Red Book of Ossory not only connects us to local history but will also spark imaginations and inspire the making of a unique book, for collecting poems, stories, drawings and recipes – just like Bishop Ledrede did, in St. Canice’s Cathedral, 700 years ago.
