miniVAN | The Ros Tapestry: A Tale Told in Thread
In the latest edition of the miniVAN, Production Editor Thomas Pool interviews stitchers Rosa Ronan and Susan Synnott, as well as Chairperson Mary Lou O’Kennedy, about their work on the Ros Tapestry – a monumental project, 27 years in the making, chronicling the medieval history of New Ross and the southeast of Ireland.
The Ros Tapestry is currently on display at the Dunbrody Famine Ship Experience in New Ross, Co. Wexford.
