Exhibition: Cork Textiles Network Show in Bishopstown Library – Co Cork

Promotional poster for the CTN Members show and collaboration project titled 'Aistear'. Features abstract patterns in pink and red, with event details including date from April 2 to 29, 2026, and an opening reception at 3pm on April 2nd, held at Bishopstown Library.


The Cork Textiles Network‘s (CTN) spring exhibition theme is Aistear, the Irish word for a journey of experience. The exhibition includes a wide and varied selection of textile and fabric disciplines from appliqué, felting, weaving, embroidery, batik, and mixed media.

Several of Feltmakers Ireland members belong to the CTN and have artwork in the exhibition, including Maggie McCartney (whose work is on the poster), Cara Shank, Karima Rebecca Powell, and Emily Thompson.

The show also showcases a large collaborative project that CTN members undertook last year: a large wall hanging featuring the work of 36 artists who responded to a specific brief to create a piece of art that resonates with imagination, creativity and skill.

When: The show runs through Tuesday, the 29th of April.

Where: Bishopstown Library, Sarsfield Rd, Wilton, Cork T12 RR84
