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.
