Family Workshop: Create a Patchwork Cloak

Join artist Karen Peakin to celebrate St Brigid’s Festival by creating your own patchwork quilt inspired by Gerard Dillon’s Little Green Fields. Families are invited to explore paper weaving and collage to make individual patches, which will come together to form a communal ‘St Brigid’ cloak.
