Tapestry.

There's a lovely tapestry on show in the Island Arts Centre at the moment.
Last year, one of our members, Carolyn, became involved with a project with ArtsEkta and Arts for All

Here's a little explanation about it from the ArtsEkta website :

In February 2013 a remarkable group of women were brought together by two Belfast based arts organisations -ArtsEkta and Arts for All to take part in a project which would create a ‘narrative on cloth’ honouring and celebrating the history of the port and docks of Belfast, the communities surrounding them and the role of women in this important history.


Yesterday Carolyn chatted to us about the tapestry and gave us an insight in to how it was made....
you can view photos and read all about the launch of the tapestry here.

I don't know how long it will be on show at the Island Arts Centre but it's worth coming to see.

ArtsEkta and Arts for All are now looking for interested participants for a follow on project beginning in March, you can find more information here.


There's also an interview on the radio where you can hear Carolyn's thoughts on the project.  It's  about 2.19 minutes in.
