Tullamore Library is delighted to present Threading Needles, Telling Stories, an exhibition of 14 three-dimensional hand-sewn dolls made by the women of the Chatters and Matters, Tullamore Traveller’s Women’s Shed. Threading Needles, Telling Stories is a storytelling through doll-making project led by artist and doll-maker Teresa Doyle. The purpose of this project is to explore Traveller heritage and culture in a new way, with each doll serving as a vessel for participants to demonstrate and tell the stories of their Traveller experiences.
The exhibition can be viewed in Tullamore Library throughout the month of August. An official launch will take place on Tuesday August 13th at 6pm, with special guest Oein De Bhairduin, Traveller Culture Collections Development Officer with the National Museum of Ireland.
All are welcome to attend.
