As its Friday, I thought it would be a good idea to do a heritage #FollowFriday here, profiling some of the people and organisations involved in and responsible for preserving and promoting Ireland's unique built heritage and traditional skills! #FF #EuropeForCulture
So my first #FF is @SPABIreland is an enthusiastic and hard working group of young professionals in the conservation sector who raise awareness and promote traditional techniques through practical workshops and site visits and also host fun events like sketching days!
If you long to live in a period property but don't have the means, @IrishLandmark rescues neglected old buildings and restores them with a new lease of life, making them available for holiday rentals. Stay in a lighthouse or a schoolhouse! irishlandmark.com #FF
On Merrion Square is @Arch_Archive - open to the public from Tuesday to Saturday the IAA hosts exhibitions, lecture series and associared events as well as being an operational archive, open to researchers or people wishing to research historic buildings. #FF
Dublin Civic Trust @dubcivictrust is a Dublin based org that recently completed the restoration of an 18C building on #OrmondQuay. It campaigns for the protection of Dublin's arch heritage & organises regular seminars - most recently on 18C railings & Victorian Garden Squares
