Introducing our new textile range ‘Intertwined’ - developed during our time on the Creative Futures Academy Circular by Design programme. We have handwoven bags, mats, laptop covers and more cosy items using beautiful selvedge offcuts that might otherwise have gone to landfill.

These pieces have been hand-woven by “waste material” sourced from Foxford Mills. We were sent the selvedge offcuts from their production line and are receiving 35 kg of material a week. The material is then unpacked, organised, and ready for our weaver Turgay to turn the ‘waste material’ into our products aimed to help people stay warm and cosy.

We have entered this collection into the Irish Design Business Challenge - we would hugely appreciate your vote on this project, please click here if you would like to learn more.

The government’s announcement last night about the public health restrictions means that, unfortunately, no indoor activities can resume at this time.

We hope that easing of restrictions to be announced on May 4th will allow us to recommence our workshops; but we will have to wait and see what the official decision is at the time and what is the timeline.

We have contacted everyone whose workshops have been affected, but please do not hesitate to get in touch if you have any questions: hello@arranstreeteast.ie

Stay Safe!
