A 4 week (digital design) and 2 week (embroidery) programme, led by Illustrator Kit Rees and inspired by the weird and wonderful collection of the local Northern Ireland museum partners, participants used digital illustration and traditional embroidery techniques to create their very own bespoke COVID face-masks.
To quote one a popular Facemask workshop session phrase:
‘If you have to go out, you might as well go all out’.
Check out their fabulous designs below!
"I really enjoyed the programme! Clodagh, Kit and all the facilitators and museum staff were very friendly and engaging. I learnt a lot from the museum staff about heritage and one of my favourite things was looking at photos from the museum archives- particularly the ones where I recognised where the photo was taken- it was amazing to see the similarities and differences of what a building/place is like now and what it was like in photos taken in the past"Serenah, 21
