kilkenny brass rubbing centre

Situated within a superbly restored Tudor Merchant's house, Kilkenny Brass Rubbing Centre is unique in Ireland. Anyone can create, with our guidance, images spanning the history of Ireland and N. Europe - using materials which we provide. No special skill or experience is needed. Our beautifully engraved brasses, from which the rubbings are made, depict figures from Viking, Norman, medieval, Tudor and stuart ages. Each participant takes away a brass rubbing, min. 18" x 10", which they have created, in gold wax on black cartridge paper.
