FabCity Voices

CENTRINNO is back with a new series of Fab City Hub Voices. In the first one of the year, they welcome our very own Ragnheiður Björk Þórsdóttir on Wednesday 15 February at 12pm CET.
 
 
Ragnheiður will tell us about how a Fab City Hub is being developed in Blönduós, Iceland and the focus will be on the importance of weaving in Iceland in the past, present and the future. In addition, our guest speaker will talk about the importance of the Textile Center, the Textile Lab and how the idea of the FCH is contributing to our future goals and vision for the 4th stage of weaving in Iceland.
