Threading the Táin - The Westmeath Panel

‘Threading the Táin’ is a community visual arts project created to celebrate An Táin Bó Cúailnge. Five tapestries depict scenes from the epic tale and the counties the route passes through: Longford, Louth, Meath, Roscommon and Westmeath. The Westmeath panel depicts the events that took place as Queen Medb’s army progressed homewards through Westmeath’s ancient landscape.

The project was coordinated by a textile artist in each county. A variety of textile techniques have been used in the creation of the tapestries.

The Westmeath Coordinator was Claire Delabre and the sewers were Margaret Cunnane, Bridie Scally, Brigid Mayes, Trish Ryding and Paula Sheridan. View the tapestry during opening hours Aug 15, 17-22, 9am - 5pm. Closed between 1pm - 2pm.

In the Market House, Mullingar.
