Welcome to our THINK GLOBAL GROW LOCAL series of online Roundtable events, drawing together a community of experts and enthusiasts, exploring locality and regeneration through the lens of flax fibre and linen cultures from around the world: Growing Fibres and Nurturing Culture.
The title of our series is a riff on the phrase ‘Think Global Act Local’ and the work of pioneering Scottish ecologist, Patrick Geddes. His call to consider nature and the seasons as our guide and to progress in tandem with the planet, underpins much of our work with Journeys in Design.
All presentations are available to view on Journeys in Design YouTube channel.
