Weavers, spinners and dyers of all levels of experience are welcome to join us at the Big Spin for August Craft Month in the Beckett Locke Hotel on Dublin’s North Docks. Bring your spinning wheel, your tapestry frame, your rigid heddle loom, your spindle or your e-spinner or just your good self, and sit, weave, spin, chat, drink tea or coffee and mingle with us on Sunday 17th August from 11am to 4pm.

There will be informal demonstrations of spinning on both spindles and spinning wheels, as well as weaving on a rigid heddle loom.
