I bring the historic craft of traditional thatching directly to schools. Through interactive toolkits, material handling, and architectural storytelling, pupils explore sustainable heritage conservation and step into the shoes of traditional master craftspeople.

Shelter and homes through time

Pupils explore the evolution of Irish vernacular architecture, discovering how our ancestors built sustainable homes. This interactive session lets students handle raw materials like straw, reed, and scollops, investigating the science and engineering behind historic thatched buildings.

Materials, sustainability, and traditional Crafts

This hands-on workshop connects traditional skills with modern environmental awareness. Pupils examine how regional landscapes influenced building materials. Students learn the value of architectural conservation and practice basic, techniques used by thatchers.
