Stitching & Solidarity

Join artist Laura Angell this International Women’s Day for this unique workshop to create your own word, symbol or a short slogan that you might like to stitch.

If you can’t think of any you can be inspired by our current exhibition by Bog Cottage Collective!

No experience necessary and materials and yarns will be provided.

In the workshop, Laura will cover some simple and beautiful stitching and embellishment techniques and you can bring home your own unique mini banner.

Expect a relaxed and fun workshop, suitable for 18+

Places are extremely limited so please book early to avoid disappointment

Laura Angell is a British artist based in Galway. In her work she makes multidisciplinary installations using handmade objects (largely textile) to tell an intended narrative. Thematically the work focuses on failure, success, status and anxiety, exploring society’s psychological concerns, particularly focussing on the value of ‘women’s work’ both from a traditional crafts viewpoint and in a wider context. Her work employs a range of techniques including tapestry, embroidery, felting, crochet and manipulated machine knitting.
