Hope to see you this Harvest Festival Saturday! 🌾
After the wonderful success of our first Flax 405 workshop, we're delighted to be back at Central Library this Saturday, 10:30am–12:30pm, for another free flax cordage-making session.
Flax 405: From Mallon to Mizen is a nationwide community project weaving together 405 pieces of flax rope, thread, and linen — symbolically linking Mallon Linen in Co. Tyrone to Mizen Head in Co. Cork. It's a lovely, hands-on way to mark the Harvest Festival, and no experience or booking is needed — all materials are provided, and everyone is welcome.
We'd love to see you there!
