Established in 2024 in Dublin, Ireland.
We are ecstatic to be celebrating the inaugural edition of Dublin Fibre Festival this year! After much anticipation and hard work, we are thrilled to bring together fibre enthusiasts, artisans, and vendors for a day of creativity, inspiration, and community. With a diverse array of workshops, demonstrations, and shopping opportunities, the festival promises to be a vibrant celebration of all things fibre arts. We can't wait to see our vision come to life and to share this exciting experience with everyone who cherishes the rich traditions and modern innovations of fibre crafting. Here's to the first of many fabulous Dublin Fibre Festivals to come!
MIRA ISAN: Founder & Organiser
Owner of Mira Isan Studio. Knitter, yarn dyer, knit designer with backgrounds in architecture and photography.
Dublin Fibre Festival owes its existence to the vision and dedication of its founder and organiser, Mira Isan. With a deep passion for traditional and contemporary fibre arts, Mira set out to create a dynamic and inclusive platform for fibre artists, crafters, and enthusiasts to celebrate their love for all things fibre-related. Her unwavering commitment to nurturing a vibrant community of creatives has been instrumental in shaping Dublin Fibre Festival so far. Mira’s profound understanding of the rich heritage of fibre arts and her forward-thinking approach have been pivotal in curating an eclectic and engaging festival that resonates with people from all walks of life.
She is in pursuit of keeping the knitting tradition alive. She believes the current adult generation should pass this knowledge and culture to younger generations, educate and grow people who can carry on the ways of artisans and fibre artists.
JESSICA JEONG: Organiser
Knitter, Knit designer, Writer, Business consultant with a long career in various corporations including software development and newspaper industry.
Joined DFF in 2026 with a background rooted in the belief that what we use or wear should honour both the maker and the earth. She wants to reconnect the public with the origins of fibre, fabric.
By helping DFF to spotlight independent makers, artists, and local producers, she promotes the skills and stories behind the traditional handmade. She believes that they are a vocal proponent of the "make-do-and-mend" philosophy, encouraging others to view make & repair as a creative act rather than a chore.
