Processing the nettle as a textile fibre – Experience an old-fashioned craft

Join us for a thorough introduction to the textile fibres of nettle, which have been used since the Neolithic Age. Learn about the extraction of the fibres from the stems, which undergo a reddening process to become soft fibre. In the Dyeing Workshop, you can watch demonstrations and try your hand at processing the nettle.
The event takes place on 6 and 7 September.

You can experience an introduction and try working with it yourself from 10.30 to 13.30 and again from 14.00 to 16.30.

The facilitators will have lunch from 13.30 to 14.00.
