As part of the Síolta Glasa project, Friends of Lace Limerick are offering a series of skills sharing sessions titled “Repair, Repurpose, Recycle”. Every Tuesday from 12 to 1pm (in November 2024 and then again from January 2025) at the Citizen Innovation Lab (UL City Centre Campus), we will be offering advice and support to those attempting to repair or repurpose any textile items. Maybe even add a bit of lace, if appropriate!
No booking needed, just come and see us!
From the presentation of the Síolta Glasa project:
“Síolta Glasa uses creativity to empower communities to take climate actions by
making carbon reduction activities relevant, actionable and relatable to people’s lives and communities. When supported by Local Authorities and other stakeholders, creative climate conversations/explorations increase understanding and create ‘buy in’, forming the basis for significant individual behaviour change and the initiation of carbon reduction projects at community level under a variety of themes. Síolta Glasa has the potential for long-lasting community impact in the context of the development of the Local Authority Climate Action Plans and the launch of the Community Climate Action Fund.”
Our group is collaborating with Leitrim-based artist Shane Finan on the idea of an installation based on the past and the present of Limerick lace.
