Life Under the Cloak is an exhibition of textile art that was created by over 300 primary school students from 10 Kildare primary schools in collaboration with local Textile Artist/Designer Aideen Cross.
This art work explores the life and legacy of Saint Brigid and discovers the connections she has to local areas. The young students and their teachers, guided by Aideen Cross, researched the history and legacy of Brigid’s inspiring life, reflecting on her achievements, feminine strengths and the much-loved folklore stories, all while learning new skills and gaining a real sense of place.

As part of Kildare County Council's Brigid, Spirit of Kildare initiative, Athy Sing and Sign is excited to present a FREE resource featuring Irish Sign Language (ISL) signs related to St. Brigid! This is a fantastic opportunity for educators, parents, and individuals to learn together or enhance your own skills.
Join us in celebrating St. Brigid by exploring the beauty of ISL through these signs.

Location: Kildare Steiner Secondary School, Rathargid, Gormanstown, Co. Kildare, W91CR24
