SUMMARY:Winlaw: Flax to Linen Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Explore the full journey of flax from plant to fibre to linen. \nJoin us for a hands-on workshop that brings the ancient craft of linen-making to life. Participants will learn how flax\, a plant well-suited to our bioregion\, is transformed into soft\, strong raw linen through traditional hand-processing techniques. All flax used in this workshop was grown in our community plot this year \nYou’ll have the opportunity to try your hand at breaking\, scutching\, and hackling flax\, learn about its cultivation and cultural history in the Kootenays\, and explore how this plant fits into our regional fibre system today. \nThe tools used in these workshops are hand-crafted by local artisan Scott Fettes\, using locally sourced wood and traditional joinery. Their creation was made possible through generous support from Columbia Basin Trust and Kootenay Savings Credit Union\, helping us build a shared legacy of regional flax processing. \nThese workshops are part of our Flax to Linen Program\, a regional initiative connecting communities across the West Kootenays to reimagine the potential of locally grown fibre crops. By learning together\, we’re helping build the foundation for a bioregional linen economy rooted in soil health\, community collaboration\, and regenerative practice. \nNo experience is required. All materials and tools are provided. \nNote: Members receive 10% off all workshops. Look for your discount code in your inbox. If you cannot find it in your inbox or spam folder\, please contact info@westkootenayfibreshed.com \n$45 – $55 sliding scale tickets.
