Mary Immaculate College, Engineers Week Ireland, the Source Theatre and the Irish American Partnership are bringing Engineering to Thurles.

The film narrated by Academy Award® winner Jeff Bridges, Dream Big: Engineering Our World aims to transform how we think about engineering. From the Great Wall of China and the world’s tallest buildings to underwater robots, solar cars and smart, sustainable cities, Dream Big celebrates the human ingenuity behind engineering marvels big and small, and shows how engineers push the limits of innovation in unexpected and amazing ways. With its inspiring stories of human grit and aspiration, Dream Big reveals the compassion and creativity that drive engineers to create better lives for people and a more sustainable future for us all.

Produced for all ages, Dream Big showcases engineering’s impressive impact on our world and our lives.

We're organising sculpting and stone carving workshops for the summer. The workshops will be held over 3 or 2 days, so you have the choice of Fri-Sun or just Sat/Sun. The dates are 23,24,25 June and 21,22,23 July.
The workshops are suitable for beginners or those with some experience and are really individually tailored, so if you're interested in lettering, abstract sculpture or figurative pieces - the choice is yours, and everything is possible over time.
We use Kilkenny Limestone, Portland Limestone, local sandstone and various types of slate
It's €300 for the 3 days and €200 for the 2 days. This includes all materials, use of tools, tuition and all you can eat. Group discounts are available.
The workshops are non-residential but we do have plenty of space for camping and there are also a couple of B&Bs in the village and a good choice of pubs and restaurants for evening meals; all within walking distance.
Please give a ring if you want any more information, you'll either get Liz or Philip 087 2339915

It's a bit like Prince Charming trying to find the foot that fits, they're queueing up to see who fits in the throne in the Inch Field.
And the Jester hitched a lift from Tipp Co Co to get across the water. Thanks Mick!
