Niamh Coffey—Muse! Mingle! Merge!

Muse! Mingle! Merge!

Saturday 24th May

A private workshop for members of a local queer knit club.

This workshop will introduce the methods and research used to create Siúnta to facilitate participants to make their own fabric collages. 

Each participant will be given a copy of a document from the National Folklore collection archive. Participants will engage in a series of exercises and games to collage the imagery from our documents together before creating individual textile work based on new and imagined ecological relationships. Emily Roche, a member of knit club and a visual artist who makes work through analogue photography, will be responding creatively to the workshop and exhibition, the results of which will be linked on our website after the exhibition.

Part of the exhibition: Niamh Coffey—Siúnta
