This handcrafted needle-felted artwork captures the quiet rhythm of traditional Irish life through the image of a woman spinning wool at an Roth Sníomh, the spinning wheel. Carefully formed using natural fibres, the piece reflects the skill, patience, and heritage behind Ireland’s long textile tradition.
Needle felted on to a light blue coloured linen background, the felted figure and spinning wheel are built up in layers of wool, creating depth and movement. The work is framed in a softly distressed frame that complements the natural materials and timeless subject matter.
An Roth Sníomh – croí na ceirde.
(The spinning wheel – the heart of the craft.)
Rooted in tradition and made entirely by hand, this artwork offers a quiet celebration of Irish craft and the enduring beauty of slow, skilled making. A meaningful piece for those who value heritage, story, and handwork.
