Artist Workshop Series: Weaving the World Around Us

Niamh Maher will go over different weaving traditions from different cultures, including Maori (Raranga) and Irish (Basket weaving) at this FREE workshop for kids at the Pah Homestead. Children will understand how weaving has played a part in human connectedness and joy for centuries.

Suitable for kids aged 6-12. No reservation required, but spaces will be limited and available on a first-come basis.

ABOUT THE ARTIST

Niamh Maher (born 2001) is a New Zealand/ Irish multimedia artist working primarily in sculpture, painted image, and textiles. Employing a feminist lens, she frequents domestic terrain in the materiality of her work, encasing philosophical consideration and concern into objects which may at first appear unassuming.

With a background in Psychology, she addresses concern for the self with the suggestion of an internal partnership which furthers the intimacy of all entities, conceivable or not. Her work imagines the conscious experience as tactile and invites all to hold it in their hand.
