Workshops for both flax processing and spinning at our studio in Stroud, Gloucestershire and we are also happy to discuss running workshops at other locations
Since the UK no longer have a home grown linen industry we have reconstructed traditional cottage industry type tools which we supply to growers to help process flax. With a range of tools to fit a budget of a grower growing a couple of square metres up to an acre or more.
Our own home spun and woven fabric
We are making a series of home grown spun and woven artists canvas to commission a number of maritime artists who are making their living around the sea yet have links to an ancestral past. In essence artistic snap shots of working life around Britain in the 21c very much in the same way J.M.W. Turner and other artists recorded rural and maritime occupations on their tours of the British Isles and Europe.
