Event: Liberties Weavers Walking Tour – Waitlist

Published on by Feltmakers Ireland

The Liberties Weavers has created a guided walk around the area to share some places, people and textiles that have shaped Ireland’s textile history.

Marja Almqvist, textile artist, weaver and initial mind behind The Liberties Weavers, will conduct this amazing experience – where the participants rediscover The Liberties as the centre of textile production for over 1000 years, an aspect of our heritage that is often overlooked.

The tour will start at the Hyatt Centric The Liberties Dublin at 11 am.

The tour is not free but includes entry to the St Patrick Cathedral.

Embark on a new and exciting journey with us!

When: Saturday, the 27th of July, 2024, 11:00 AM – 13:00 PM.

Your Opinion: Kilmainham Mill Master Plan

Published on by Feltmakers Ireland

Today, the 3rd of November, is the last day for the public to have their say on the future of the Kilmainham Mill, which is the last remaining, largely unaltered, early 19th century flour mill in Dublin. It is probably the last remaining fulling (cloth shrinking) mill in Ireland. It is a protected structure on the Record of Protected Structures, and it is now in the ownership of Dublin City Council.

The Council wants to develop a vision to underpin the medium and long-term use of the Mill. Please contribute your opinion. It is not a long survey and is easy to fill out. The survey will ask for your name and email, but your response will be anonymous. Please participate.
