The H.A.R.P. Museum at the Irish Cultural Center of the Mohawk Valley is pleased to announce the resumption of Lunch & Learn sessions for area youth with two programs on Thursday February 19, 2026.
The morning session starts at 10 AM. The children will create colorful paper Celtic knot designs on black backgrounds incorporating the knots weave patterns. Simpler similar projects such as shamrocks or claddaghs will be available for younger children as needed.
The afternoon session starts at 1 PM and will be spent teaching children about the ancient Ogham alphabet used primarily in early Irish language writing. Children will learn how to write their names and other simple words using this alphabet.
Lunch will be available for attendees to both sessions at noon.
All supplies will be provided, all they need is their imagination and enthusiasm. Their projects will be saved for display in the Museum’s space during March Irish Heritage month.
There is no charge for these classes, which is being offered to children of all ethnicities aged 8-14.
As each class has limited seating, advance registration is required. Parents/guardians are welcome to attend any of the events (they won’t count against the cap, but will have to pay for their own lunch).
This youth programming series, aimed at introducing young people of our area to the history and culture of Ireland, is funded through the Mohawk Valley Gives program and matching funds from the UpMobility Foundation and the James H. Donovan Foundation.
