Stoneware Studios hosted ‘Lime in Renovation’ training day at Ballymaloe Cookery School in East Cork. Blessed with a beautiful sunny day, we were able to give all elements of the course, demonstrations & presentations in the open air. With some great hospitality by Darina Allen and her excellent team the day was very enjoyable.
As a member of the Building Limes Forum Ireland, Stoneware Studios actively participate in the promotion of the use of Lime and other appropriate conservation materials. We regularly attend events, for example in Tramore, Co. Waterford, where over 70 delegates attended a one-day seminar of talks and demonstrations.- for more info. www.buildinglimesforumireland.com
