Lacemaking demonstrations on demand
August 1, 2024 @ 10:30 AM - August 31, 2024 @ 1:00 PM
Lacemaking demonstrations are available throughout the month of August on demand at the Kenmare Lace and Design Centre.
The Kenmare Lace and Design Centre can be found upstairs over the Tourist Information Centre & Heritage Centre. It is accessed by the door to the left of the Tourist Information Centre.
The Kenmare Lace and Design Centre is a treasure trove of many things. It is not just a museum or a craft shop. It is a centre for the promotion of Kenmare and many other Irish laces. It is a meeting place for lace makers from all corners of the world. When lace is being demonstrated there are no language barriers. The art and craft of lacemaking is its own form of communication. Here Kenmare Lace and other laces are displayed, demonstrated and sold. An added bonus is the extensive array of lacemaking materials and general haberdashery available at the centre.
Demonstrations can be conducted on demand where demonstrators are available. Group demonstrations must be pre-arranged.
Monday to Friday 10.30 am to 1.00pm.
