This exhibition and events series celebrates contemporary design in flax fibre and linen, and Scotland’s extraordinary relationship with this quintessentially European textile. After two years of touring, drawing on a rich trade and industrial heritage, the programme also highlights Scotland’s leading role in designing a sustainable circular economy.
