St. Brigid’s Cloak: A Narrative Quilt with Fingal Makerspace

St Brigids Cloak

The legend of St. Brigid’s cloak tells us how she acquired the land on which to build her monastery. Over a series of three workshops in the Fingal Makerspace, participants will design their own Brigid’s cloak in the form of a quilt. Each three-hour session will focus on different aspects of the design and practicalities of printmaking and quilt construction, culminating in the creation of a large St. Brigid’s quilted cloak (Brat Bríde) for display on St. Brigid’s Day.  

These workshops are suitable for those aged 13 – 17, and advance booking is required https://www.eventbrite.ie/d/ireland--dublin/fingal-makerspace/.
