80+ Women of Glenmore women's shed: Reclaiming River, Heritage & Art

This vibrant community art project invites the women of Glenmore to dive into their village’s rich fishing heritage through creativity and collaboration.

Led by artists Imogen Stafford and Betty McGuire, participants will:

Sculpt a wire Prong boat with fishermen figures

Yarn bomb nets, fish, and river-inspired designs

Curate an exhibition of stories, photos, and folklore celebrating Glenmore’s fishing past

The final sculpture will be proudly installed in the village with support from Bothán and Glenmore Tidy Towns, becoming a lasting tribute to the River Barrow and the generations who lived by it.

This is more than art—it’s placemaking, storytelling, and pride in action. A celebration of women reconnecting with their roots and shaping the future of their community. 

Bookings for members of the Glenmore women's shed only through 087 2069813 E-Mail: glenmoreswomensshed@gmail.com
