Tickets are now available for the annual Flax Meitheal Harvest Celebration, on the weekend of 22rd-23st of August.
Fibreshed Ireland is once again partnering with Mallon Linen, Linen Workers CIC, and PlayThinkBrink to bring a weekend of presentations, panel discussions, craft demonstrations, a farm visit, music, and poetry.
Come learn about the history of linen production on this island, the present solutions & challenges, and help shape a regenerative, equitable and joyful flaxen future!
