Speaking
I regularly prepare illustrated talks ranging from academic presentations to those tailored for a general audience.
Upcoming Talks

This highly illustrated talk will explore life in the Irish farmhouse. Claudia will be bringing her latest objects for handling, discussion, and observation including flour bags, crocks, cowhorn spoons and even some small seats. The audience is invited to bring along relevant old objects for opinions (but not valuation). You can also bring photos of larger items if you like.

'Making In' Seminar
Joseph Walsh Studio, Cork
15 September 2018
Claudia Kinmonth gave the opening address. A design and art historian, and an expert on Irish country furniture, she introduced two of the themes which ran through the seminar. Place: having come to live in West Cork some years ago, she spoke joyously about her love for its landscape and seascape. Traditional craftsmanship: she chose to tell us about the almost extinct noggin, a small wooden vessel with a stave handle which was widely used for drinking and eating until the beginning of the last century.
