For the fourth year in a row, Fibreshed Ireland’s annual symposium will be an opportunity for the textile community to come together and celebrate the fibres, dyes and imagination on the island.

Conscious that the only way to co-create a regenerative and local textile ecosystem is by working together, this two-day event will be a catalyst for members and the wider community to get inspired, strengthen ongoing collaborations or spark new ones.

This year, the symposium will return to Dublin and will span two days of talks, workshops, demonstrations, and creative networking opportunities.

On Friday 21 November, gather in The Richmond, Smithfield to hear from a wide variety of growers and practitioners who work in line with Soil-to-Soil principles of circularity, compostability and agroecology.

On Saturday 22 November, we’ll hold an open day of craft demonstrations, workshops, shopping opportunities and community building in Richmond Barracks, Inchicore.Conscious that the only way to co-create a regenerative and local textile ecosystem is by working together, this two-day event will be a catalyst for our members and wider community to get inspired, strengthen ongoing collaborations or spark new ones.
