Nestled in the heart of Dublin's historic Liberties district, The Liberties Weavers is a vibrant community group dedicated to reviving the rich tapestry of weaving heritage that has woven its way through the area's 1,000-year history. Trough a series of engaging workshops, weaving classes, exhibitions, and historical lectures, The Liberties Weavers are breathing new life into the art of weaving, inviting both experienced craft enthusiasts and curious newcomers to immerse themselves in the world of textiles and fibre arts. The group's mission is to nurture, promote, and celebrate the enduring legacy of weaving in the Liberties, encouraging people of all ages and backgrounds to rediscover the joy of creating handcrafted textiles. With their passion for preserving the past and fostering creativity in the present, Te Liberties Weavers are weaving a tapestry of connection and community that resonates with the very soul of the Liberties.
