‘Apron Strings!’, a solo exhibition by Connie Flynn at Courtyard Arts.
I’d heard about this exhibition only last week so I was keen to see it before it closed.
I purposely hadn’t read too much about it before visiting so I had no preconceived ideas about what to expect other than embroidered aprons (which in itself is wonderful). How wrong was I. I was blown away with her work. Enjoy.
The pieces below are half aprons – the rectangular kind with ties that wrap around the waist. These pieces have been worked on both sides using every textile material to hand, from hand made felt to re-purposed tea towels.

I had a good chat with Connie about her past and future exhibitions. I suggest getting in contact with her if you want to know more (her work is a breath of fresh air). She also offers workshops – I was a quick to add my name to her mailing list! Connie is a very gifted lady and I have a feeling we will be hearing more about her in years to come.
Thanks for this great post, i find it very interesting and very well thought out and put together. I look forward to reading your work in the future. homedepotmyapron.net
Hello – thank you for featuring the Apron Strings exhibition by Connie Flynn. This looked so interesting and I wondered if you could send me Connie’s contact details, as I also would like to attend one of her workshops?
Many Thanks
Hi Sue, thank you for your message. Since writing the blog post, Connie has relocated and I don’t have a direct email address for her. She has recently curated a project in Norfolk so I suggest that may be a good starting point for you. https://norfolkheritagecentre.wordpress.com/stitching-our-stories/. I hope this helps. Happy stitching. Katie : )
