This year’s Textile Journey celebrates creativity, wool, and textiles, including several events: demonstrations, open studios, and workshops. The festival is an invitation to everyone to try making or exploring textiles.

Textile Journey will have demonstrations from several textile artists. Come and enjoy the showcase of their skills.

There will be a Materials and Tools Exchange: Swap bits from your stash and explore new materials, tools, and techniques.

In addition, there will be a Sharing Panel—an art installation by the facilitators that encourages public participation.

Where: The Coach House Gallery (right next to the Chester Beatty), Dublin Castle, D02.
