The Shared Stewardship Initiative<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Participation in the Linen Project\u2019s Shared Stewardship<\/a> community is based on the commitment to a year-long process \u2013 from flax cultivation to fibre processing to material outcomes \u2013 learning with and from each other, human and non-human, and sharing the risks, responsibilities and joy that this brings. Conditions of stewardship are reviewed by the group per season. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

1m2 vlas<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Since 2018, The Linen Project has been exploring the possibility of producing our own textiles and restoring small-scale linen production. We have noticed a lot of interest from people wanting to participate. That\u2019s why you can get involved yourself in 2024. We invite you to cultivate 1m2 of flax in your own garden, inspired by the Swedish initiative 1 KVM LIN. Under the guidance of experts, you will go through the entire process from seed to textile.

Linnen Kavels<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Linen Project has explored and undertaken all of the processes involved in small-scale industrialized flax fibre processing and linen production. The next step is to exchange, strengthen and grow this knowledge and network with enthusiastic, committed citizens and companies, together sharing the care, responsibility, risk and potential of establishing a local linen economy in the Netherlands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Linnen Kavels<\/a> \u2013 named for the land lots on which the fibre is cultivated \u2013 is an opportunity for potential partners and interested parties and individuals to get acquainted with and make use of the textile outcomes of this process; the first to be produced and offered by The Linen Project, in partnership with Enschede Textielstad. Connect<\/a> to express your interest. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Crafts Council Nederland Meet the Master Masterclasses<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Where can you learn a creative craft at a high level? Directly with the master. Crafts Council Nederland invites specialised local artisans to share their practice, their haptic knowledge and their technical expertise during the Meet the Master masterclasses. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Various linen- and textile-related workshops are facilitated throughout the year, ranging from beginner to advanced participant skill levels. A series of traditional flax-processing workshops are also offered in connection with the Shared Stewardship initiative. Visit Crafts Council Nederland<\/a> for more information on upcoming and past masterclasses, from weaving linen<\/a> to mastering (natural) dye techniques<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Public Activities at the Netherlands Open Air Museum<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Linen Project has been cultivating and processing flax using traditional methods with the Netherlands Open Air Museum since 2018. We enthusiastically invite our wider community and the general public to participate in the harvest activities at our flax field, taking place in the summer. Following custom, there is also winter work to be done: during a three-day Winterschool, presented together with Crafts Council Nederland, participants have the opportunity to learn about manually processing and working with the flax fibres.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Netherlands Open Air Museum\u2019s regular programming features several traditional flax-related activities, including milling Linseed for oil and handweaving linen on the loom. The museum\u2019s collection is also home to numerous examples of historical linen items and garments. The exhibition Makers in View<\/em>, exploring the role of artisans and traditional crafts in addressing contemporary issues, includes a contribution by Linen Steward Kelly Konings. Visit Netherlands Open Air Museum<\/a> for opening hours and admissions information. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
