Make Your Own Shield Workshop

Newry and Mourne Museum, Bagenal's Castle, Castle Street, Newry, County Down, BT34 2BY
Shield Workshop

About

Staff will host two shield arts and crafts workshops. Children will learn more about heraldry, the medieval system of identification used during battle, which developed into the art form used in creating family coats of arms and crests.

They will get the chance to create a new family crest (or use the old one) and make their own shield.

The sessions start at, 10.30am until 12pm and again at 1.30 until 3pm.
