Celebrate your Irish heritage by creating your own treasured keepsake!

Due to popular demand, the Irish Cultural Center of the Mohawk Valley will once again host its “Create An Ogham Pendant” class in August. For those who missed this sold out class in July, local writer and musician Sue Romero will be leading a workshop on August 19th, where attendees will be creating their own keepsake pendant inscribed with a personalized message written in “ogham,” the early medieval alphabet of Ireland. Sue will begin with a brief history of ogham writing, and then will guide everyone through the process of making a pendant from polymer clay, inscribed with a word of their choice in ogham. At the end, besides learning about Ireland’s ancient language, each attendee will be going home with a completed necklace that honors his or her interest in Ireland; suitable for wearing or passing down to future generations. 

Seating is limited (capped at 15, but we will be building a waiting list as well), so please register at https://bit.ly/4vI2Qfk or leave a message at (315) 733-4228, Ext 6. The $15 cost of the program covers all the necessary tools and materials, as well as light refreshments.
