Crafts using angeline Fibres

The south Tipperary arts Centre will
present an opportunity for participation
in varied crafts using angeline Fibres
and other materials with two craft
workers and welcome a big take up
from schools and community groups.
They will also run a poetry session.
The aim is to have a lively, thought
provoking event which encourages
participants to explore and play with
what “culture” and “multiculturalism”
means to them. The session begins
with a pre screening of dreamtime
Revisited with the director donal o
Ceilleachair who will lead a discussion
on how we perceive culture. The musical
performance by Rory Grubb who makes
his own instruments will provide a
reflective space for participants. This is
then followed by a pot luck lunch where
anyone who attends is encouraged to
bring food of significance to them which
is shared in a communal lunch. Two
established session musicians will run
an open music session. To round off the
day, an experimental arts session will
invite participants to create a montage
that represents what culture means
to them.

practised.

rhythmically in time to the high lonely
cry of the sandpiper, echoing the
history of a craft which may go back
3000 years into Ireland’s past. david
