This doll will be an effigy that will serve as a vessel to help demonstrate and tell the stories of the participant\u2019s Traveller experiences, while reawakening skills that may be inherent for some group members. Skills including planning, designing, pattern-making, pattern-cutting, pressing, stitching, knitting and garment assembly will be learned and practiced throughout this project, and it is envisaged that at the end of the seven weeks the women will continue to look forward to future learning and creative engagement. An exhibition of the finished works will be held at the Hazel Hub Centre, and at additional venues in the town and county thereafter.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":0,"featured_media":29550,"template":"","class_list":["post-29549","event","type-event","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.9 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Threading Needles Telling Stories - Creative Ireland Programme<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"\u2018Threading Needles, Telling Stories\u2019 is an exciting textile doll-making project that is taking place at Offaly Traveller\u2019s Hazel Hub Centre in Tullamore.\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.creativeireland.gov.ie\/en\/event\/threading-needles-telling-stories\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Threading Needles Telling Stories - Creative Ireland Programme\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"\u2018Threading Needles, Telling Stories\u2019 is an exciting textile doll-making project that is taking place at Offaly Traveller\u2019s Hazel Hub Centre in Tullamore.
