This workshop introduces children to the design of their own piece of Limerick Lace and can use the Honeycomb Wizard to practice the stitches or even create new ones! We will be asking the children to use their design skills to create their own Limerick Lace design. During the design process we will discuss the history of the Lace and will do a quiz on fun facts about Limerick. The young designers will complete their own design to take home with them.
