Hello and welcome to slowweave.com, a participatory project developed for Engage/Offaly County Council.
This site presents a collection of observations provided by groups and individuals from various towns and villages in Offaly, plus a few interested people who came to visit. Participating observers were invited to complete a series of exercises at one of the sites, which will provide an individual interpretation of a given place. The observations consist of writings, drawings, photographs, and sound or video recordings made at sites in Banagher, Birr, Clara, Edenderry, Kinnitty, Shannonbridge and Tullamore.

We'll be updating this site throughout April and May as more material is returned to us by participants, so please check back regularly. The completed work can be viewed in several ways:

  • By location – click on the map to go to location/sites
  • By exercise number

You can also choose to view all of the responses filtered to

  • drawings only
  • writings only
  • photographs only
  • recordings only

If you would like to take part, please get in touch - see the About page for our contact details.

Selected work will also be included in an exhibition from 23rd to the 27th of May in The Engage with Architecture Centre on Main St in Tullamore.

Please join us at the Slowweave opening evening on Tuesday the 24th of May at 7pm , and the screening of "The Social Life of Small Urban Places" at 8pm.
