Stitching Heritage and Innovation

Inspired by Anne Jellicoe and the Goodbody family who connect Mountmellick Work to Clara town, join us at The Old Bank, Clara to view the beautiful embroidery work created during this fantastic project which was funded by Creative Ireland Community Grants in 2025. Meet with textile artists Dolores Dempsey and Teresa Doyle along with the participants to learn about Anne Jellicoe’s cultural contributions to the town. A fine collaboration between the artists and Clara Historical Society, the exhibition will be on view throughout Heritage Week.
