The Liberties Weavers will showcase their work in the beautiful surroundings of Tailors’ Hall, as part of the ‘Culture Date with Dublin 8‘ program of events.
On Thursday, the 8th of May, at 19:00, there will be a talk by Cathy Scuffil, Historian in Residence for the Dublin South Central area, about the history of weaving in the Liberties.
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.
NOTE: The Tour is full, but one can join the waitlist.
