About this Event
The festival will be a celebration of creativity and all things wool, and textile.
It includes a variety of events : demonstrations, open studios & workshops.
The festival is an invitation to everyone: try making or explore textiles.
Lets connect to each other.
We have demonstrations from some of the most loved Irish textile artists: Cosima Malloy, Niki Collier and Eithne Carey. Come and enjoy the showcase of their skills.
We would have materials and tools exchange - swap bits from your stash and explore materials, tools and techniques that they have never tried before.
In our tradition we would have a sharing panel - an art installation made by the facilitators which would encourage every passer-by to participate in new artistic engagement.
