About the event

Spoken in Fibre - wool art inspired by the poems of Charles J. Coote
Traditional Artist Sandra Coote Brings Family History to Life through Wool and Verse.

Our next exhibition in the Eden Gallery will be "Spoken in Fibre" by Sandra Coote - wool art inspired by the poems of Charles J. Coote.

Sandra Coote, a traditional artist originally from Co Longford has found a unique way to honour her heritage, by illustrating the poetry of her husband Alan Coote’s great grandfather, Charles. J Coote using the wool from their own flock of sheep.

Raised on a farm in Co Longford, Sandra’s deep connection to the land has always been a source of inspiration. Now living and working alongside her husband Alan, she draws on generations of rural life to create deeply personal artwork that bridges the past and the present.

Her latest body of work combines Charles J. Coote’s evocative poems – rich with reflection on his life and the countryside – with handcrafted wool illustrations made from wool from the sheep that graze the very land that Charles once walked
Sandra’s artistry weaves together memory, legacy, and landscape, offering a heartfelt tribute to Irish rural traditional and the enduring stories they inspire.

The exhibition opens on Thursday July 31st at 7.30pm, and will run until the end of Heritage Week, on Saturday August 23rd 2025.
