Textile Journey during August Craft Month

A weeklong celebration of textile creativity!
 
Due to life (you know, stuff that was thrown at us such as health challenges, changes in home, studios, logistics, loss and in betweeness) we are doing the festival online. So when challenges strike we open up for the opportunity to be with more Textile lovers across borders, regardless of place or circumstance. 
 
Enjoy this curated programme of textile revelations that will showcase insights into artists practice, developing learning interactions between textile practitioners and sharing secret looks of our upcoming exhibition, Beyond Chaos, which will be exhibited at The Coach House, Dublin Castle, September 2024 – January 2025.
