ABOUT

TEXTILE STORIES

Textile Stories was an online programme led by the Public Record Office of Northern Ireland (PRONI) in August 2020 which explored the art of storytelling through textiles, fashion and archives.

​

Throughout the programme, participants took part in a series of talks about PRONI's collections, conflict textiles, theatre costume and fashion history.​

They also received a personalised photo embroidery kit in the post and took part in a creative workshop to create their own embroidered postcard.

​

This website features a virtual exhibition of their work.​
