“Less Is More”.

– Our Vision & Mission

At Dublin Fibre Festival, our vision and mission are cultivated around the principle of "less is more." We believe in the power of simplicity and minimalism, and our goal is to celebrate the beauty and artistry that can be achieved with just a few basic elements. By embracing the ethos of "less is more," we aim to highlight the elegance and creativity that arise from restraint, focusing on quality over quantity and the intrinsic value of craftsmanship. Our vision is to inspire and empower independent fibre artists to explore the depth and richness that can be found within their craft, fostering a community that appreciates the profound impact of less clutter and more meaningful connections in their artistic pursuits. Here we just want to put a step backward from mass production brands and showcase the delicately crafted products by artisans from around the world. Some that you may never heard of!

– Location

Our 2nd edition in 2025 will be at IMMA, Irish Museum of Modern Art,

Dublin, Ireland.
