Coming to The Tower from Tuesday 6th – Sunday 11th September, the Flax Futures exhibition, from Journeys in Design, explores the exceptional potential of flax fibre across well-being, community, future heritage, biodiversity, textile production and material innovation.
Curator John Ennis hopes to encourage attendees to move beyond ideas of sustainability towards regenerative design, walking more lightly on the earth, engaging in issues of local resilience and climate change.
