Gold & Gild with Ruth Bothwell

  • Workshop

Historic interiors and decorative surfaces conservator, Ruth Bothwell of Decowell Restoration will ask children to look at and consider decorative treatments using stencilling and gilding. Some of these decorations were used within Georgian buildings and their antique furnishings. 

Ruth will then guide young hands to decorate small panels by applying stencils and gold metal leaf. Each child can embellish their own panel to take home. (6 to 12 years).

Suitable for children aged 6 – 12 years old, this event is free but places are limited so booking is essential. Bookings can be made via Eventbrite. 

Due to the popularity of these workshops, should you subsequently be unable to attend, we would be grateful if you can notify the workshop co-ordinator by email at Emmeline.henderson@igs.ie

Please wear old clothes and arrive 10 minutes prior to workshop start time. Please be advised the parents/guardians must remain with children for the duration of the workshop
