What you can expect

With the Threads to Throw tour at Liz Christy's Swallow Studios, step into a world of colour, creativity, and tradition. Engage with a working textile studio and experience the rhythm of the loom, the rich textures of natural fibres, and the joy of hand-crafted colour.

This is more than a tour - it's a sensory journey through the art of Irish hand-weaving.

Feel the warmth of wool between your fingers, hear the rhythmic clatter of the looms, and breathe in the subtle scent of natural fibres. Watch as Liz hand-dyes her yarns in rich, expressive colours, each hue telling a story inspired by art, nature, and emotion.

As you move through the studio, you'll witness the magic of transformation — from vibrant threads to elegant, handwoven scarves. You'll connect with the makers, see their passion in every movement, and share in the quiet joy that comes from creating something beautiful, by hand.

You will leave not only with a keepsake crafted in wool but also with a heart full of inspiration and a newfound appreciation for the soul woven into every Liz Christy piece.
