Fiona
MacBride –Tin Shed Yarns
The need to
stitch was always with Fiona and after winning an award at a National Quilting
show she worked to free-up her creativity and develop her design work.
She
found she was good with colour and absorbed the theory easily. She took to spinning and knitting between
“the children” and did teaching workshops on Ashford spinning and dyeing
equipment as a retailer.
Having not
been taught to knit she found it liberating to work without patterns or rules. Acknowledging
her heritage has meant a diversion into social history and particularly the
Myth of The Aran.
Fiona is
setting off on a study of Shetland and Aran work in the near future where she
hopes to meet with curators and researchers.
Fiona’s
Workshop/Studio in Nelson st will be open over Labour Weekend for ARTS in the VILLE October
26th-28th 2019.
