Trip to Liz Christy’s Swallow Studios in Annayalla, Co. Monaghan, with Textiles, Heritage and Craft students – from February 2024

Liberties College has an exciting upcoming course: ‘Textiles – Heritage, Craft, Revival and Renewal,’ which aims to explore the art of making traditional crafts by providing participants with the opportunity to learn the skills and knowledge of various crafts and to use them in a way that is relevant to the 21st century. Traditional crafts, such as weaving, felting, lace making, patchwork, quilting, and embroidery, will be studied from a historical and contemporary perspective.

Participants can design, make, and use crafts in a way relevant to their creative direction.

The opportunity to explore colour, texture, design, fabric manipulation, fabric decorating, and stitching, in conjunction with developing mood boards and sample boards to include hand-rendered and digital pieces, will underpin the core content of this course.

The course is full-time, starting in the autumn and runs through the academic year. It is very reasonably priced.
