A Place of their Own (Paula McCloskey and Sam Vardy) are looking for people in the Westside community to join a series of art workshops about the air.

These workshops will explore the air we breathe using folklore, scientific and legal knowledge.

Participants will work with the artists along with local textile artist Karena Ryan to collectively embroider a textile which will be shown at exhibitions in Westside Arts Festival and Galway Arts Centre as part of The Air We Share project.

The workshops are open to all, no previous experience necessary.
Lunch and refreshments will be provided.
