SCULPTORS from Irish Natural Stone (INS), based in Clare, are behind an exhibition running at Limerick’s Hunt Museum, featuring stone found along Ireland’s Atlantic Coast.

The exhibition will be free of charge to view during Heritage Week, which runs from August 16 to 24.

The display features expertly carved pieces that highlight the skill, precision, and heritage of one of Ireland’s oldest crafts.

The sculptors will be on hand on Saturday August 23 to give a talk and a carving demonstration.

INS was involved in restoration projects such as St John’s Cathedral in Limerick and the O’Connell Monument in Ennis as well as the limestone carved monument of Anthony ‘Axel’ Foley, located at Clancy Stand.
