St Brigid and the Brideog Doll Workshop, Saturday February 1st – St Brigid’s Day, 2:00pm to 4:00pm , FREE
Try your hand at creating your own unique Brideog Doll with mixed-media artist, Kay O’Donoghue.
The Brideog doll carries on a tradition that stretches thousands of years, creating an effigy of Brigid that would be placed in boats and homes to offer protection. Cloth from the home is left outside for Bridget to bless as she crosses the land on the eve of 1st February.
In this workshop, we will create our own unique Brideog doll using various media including pieces of material which, according to tradition, will be left out on the eve of St. Brigid’s Day to be blessed by the saint as she passes through the night.
If you would like to use your own special pieces of material, please leave them outside on Friday evening, 31st January. All materials will be supplied.
Limited capacity, booking required.
This workshop is part of the Brigid Fest 2025 celebrations.
