House Of Read Workshops

About

At the heart of Dublin’s vibrant art scene lies a deep-rooted passion for traditional crafts. For over three centuries, No. 3 Crane Lane has stood as a testament to artistry and tradition. Since 1670, this venerable building has been both an artisan manufacturing shop and a cherished home to the Read family. The Read family, world-renowned for their exquisite craftsmanship, have been crafting tableware, cutlery, swords, and instruments for Dublin’s nobility, gentry, and grand tourists throughout this remarkable span of time. Today, the legacy lives on. The Workshops at House of Read offer an authentic experience, inviting visitors to immerse themselves in the rich history and craftsmanship of various trades. We are providing three unique workshops: a Chocolate Truffle Making Class, a History of Irish Silverware & Irish Antiquity Tour, and a Perfume Making workshop.
