The Material Library: Belfast launch!

Join us for an afternoon celebrating the launch of Fibreshed Ireland's Material Library in Belfast. The Irish Native Fibres Material Library is a physical sample book featuring wool and linen grown on the island of Ireland. It was created by NCAD MA students Georgia Connolly, Alma O Donoghue and Eva Kerley, in collaboration with Fibreshed Ireland, in order to assist Irish designers to source home-grown fibres. Their aim is to inspire designers to use more local fibres in their work. They hope to build relationships and communities between designers and growers, and to create a thriving, ethical and sustainable textiles system in Ireland. There will be copies of the Material Library in key locations around Ireland, starting with NIVAL in Dublin and Carnegie Oldpark in Belfast. If you are a fibre producer and you would like to be included, please get in touch!

This is a FREE event, but booking is required so we can manage numbers.
