WORKSHOP: Flax Fibre, Dye Demo And Convivial Conversation

See how linen usitatissimum, also known as flax or linseed, turns from straw into gold and how natural dyes create beauty and colour. Experience hand processing flax to fibre whilst chatting with pioneers of a movement re-establishing agroecological flax to linen and natural dye infrastructure across the UK and Ireland. We welcome all who are curious about natural dyes, bast fibres and open source, farm scale processing machinery to join us in open conversation whilst working with the materials.

Please note there is no recording for this session.
