Join us for a hands-on embroidery class where you’ll learn how to stitch a Celtic bat design with BeAlice 

This event on Thursday October 29th from 6 - 7:30PM  at the National Museum of Ireland, Collins Barracks is part of Dublin by Dusk, a new citywide initiative to re-energise the city centre in the evening on the last Thursday of every month.

You’ll learn traditional and modern embroidery techniques while creating a Celtic bat to celebrate Halloween. Halloween began as a pagan celebration called Samhain over 2,000 years ago in Ireland so celebrate the spooky season with us.

This embroidery class is suitable for complete beginners. Embroidery is a slow process, so the piece will not be completed within the class. But we will make sure that you are confident enough in everything you've learned, to finish the work at home.

All the materials and equipment you need will be provided on the day. Your kit will include fabric, threads, needles, and instructions. Your materials are included in the price of the class.
