Join us for another co-curated exhibition, focusing on reviving the heritage craft of flax as a textile crop.

Founders of Let’s Grow Flax and skilled textile craft artisans Brigitte Kaltenbacher and Ginny Farquhar, will be displaying pieces created as part of an ongoing community flax growing project. From growing and harvesting to retting and drying, learn the process of turning a humble crop into beautiful sustainable fibre. Also, celebrate the first locally and communally produced linen denim garment in the UK in 200 years!
