Workshop - An Introduction to Weaving

The Timelines Tapestry group consists of 8 Irish tapestry weavers, all living and working in 7 local authority areas, including this workshops leader - Heather Underwood. In 2023 these weavers came together to design and weave a large scale tapestry around the themes of healing, renewal, and peace, drawing from their experiences of the Covid 19 pandemic and the war in Ukraine. Following its completion, the Timelines Tapestry embarked on a touring exhibition, with workshops to suit learners at all stages. The LHQ GALLERY of Cork County Library hosted the exhibition in February 2025, then the central tapestry of the project goes on display in the Atrium of City Hall, Cork for the month of March. Tapestry weaving has been part of cultural heritage all over the world going back to early times. This work continues that tradition, and this piece stands proudly within contemporary art leaving a legacy for the future. For updates see the project Facebook page.
