Textile heritage author Vawn Corrigan will explore the fascinating stories around Aran, travelling through the years with a slide show illustrating how the Aran sweater became our strongest cottage industry and ultimately came to be a marker of Irishness across the world.
Virtually every Irish person has associations and memories of Aran sweaters; we’ll be sharing these too! Bring or wear your own Arans. This talk is for all with an interest in social history and craft.
