Inspired by the story of the cloak being stretched to cover the fields claimed from the King of Leinster on which St Brigid built her first monastery, textile artist Theresia Guschlbauer, in collaboration with over 80 Tipperary women, has created a giant cloak which will be unveiled in Clonmel on Sunday Feb 5th to mark the occasion of the new national holiday in Ireland.

Responding to an open call from Guschlbauer made last October, women and girls of all backgrounds, experiences and skills have stitched, collaged, painted, knitted, crocheted and laced patches of fabric. The patches provided Tipperary women with an opportunity to contribute their own uniquely crafted pieces to this project, which is celebrating the spirit and symbolic values of Brigid.

The patches have been collected and stitched together to create a majestic cloak that is over 30 square meters. The cloak will be unveiled in a lantern lit procession on Sunday 5th February at 5pm, worn by stilt-walking artist Dee Tierney surrounded by makers and supporters. The procession which will make its way through the town centre will stop at the historic Town Hall building in Parnell Street where Spoken Word artist Catherine McVicker and singer Breege Phelan will perform an invocation to the Goddess Brigid. This will be followed by the presentation to Clonmel Mayor Pat English of a Brigid’s cross, to be hung in the municipal building for the coming year to bring prosperity, health and wellbeing to the citizens of the town.

Introducing Clair, owner of Lough Gur Pottery in Co. Limerick.
“I have lived beside Lough Gur in the Midwest of Ireland for over 20 years. Lough Gur is a unique place in the Irish cultural and historical landscape – it has been inhabited for over 6000 years, and the lake and its surrounds have revealed many archaeological treasures, including numerous pieces of pottery.

I am intrigued by the time-honoured ceremonies that these ancient pots were a part of, and their carved surfaces inspire my techniques and surface patterns. I combine ancient methods with modern approaches, however the core essence is always the same – embellish your everyday.

I hope that my handcrafted pottery will play a part in your everyday ceremonies – that warm mug of rich coffee first thing in the morning, to that lovingly arranged vase of freshly cut flowers. I hope it will encourage you to relish and embellish your everyday.”

Clair is currently busy restocking after the busy Christmas period but will be re-opening her webshop in February at www.loughgurpottery.com.
