Were you a parachute factory worker?

An American artist needs help with a documentary project about women who worked in military parachute factories during World War 2.

Carolyn Shadid Lewis will be the artist in residence at the Sirius Arts Centre in Cobh, Co Cork, in August and September.

She told the Coleraine Times: “I hope to travel throughout Ireland and Northern Ireland in order to interview women who may have worked as seamstresses for the Allied Forces.

“I am also interested in interviewing women who may have worked in parachute factories any time after World War 2.”

Anyone wishing to participate in the project can contact Carolyn on [email protected] or by mobile (US) 001 617 460 9886.
