Linen Biennale

Northern Ireland

A celebration of linen, past, present, and future

THE FLAX MEITHEAL

An Creagán & Mallon Linen farm Co Tyrone
30th - 31st August

Fibreshed Ireland is partnering with Mallon Linen, Brink!, artpark Hoher Berg and the Linen Biennale Northern Ireland to bring you a packed weekend of presentations, panel discussions, craft demonstrations, a farm visit, music and poetry. Join us to learn about the past of linen production on this island, the present solutions & challenges, and help shape a regenerative, equitable and joyful flaxen future!

The Linen Biennale Northern Ireland returned in August 2023.

The year’s themes, Renew & Revive, consciously overlaped and interwove, as we continued to understand and appreciate the legacy of flax and linen, and explore its value now and in the future.

The Linen Biennale Northern Ireland is an initiative of R-Space Gallery.
