The Quaker Tapestry

Bridget Guest spoke to the Friend about the recent visit of the Tapestry to Northern Ireland

by Bridget Guest and Ian Kirk-Smith 2nd October 2015

The Quaker Tapestry has just enjoyed a hugely successful visit to Lisburn in Northern Ireland. The embroidered panels – crafted by 4,000 men, women and children – are a stunning visual representation of 350 years of Quaker life and experience. They combine artistic expression with storytelling to produce a memorable celebration of Quakerism.
