The Dye Box at Belfast Design Week

Belfast Design Week has taken over the smallest public gallery space on the island of Ireland, the RSUA Design Box.

The pop-up exhibition has been put together by Belfast-based textile designer Kristen Robb, whose process uses native plants to create textile dyes.

Kristen’s ‘Dye Box’ full of plants, dyes, textiles, books & secret recipes brings her studio environment from her shed in Newtownards to Belfast city centre and celebrates regenerative design and learning about our flora and fauna.

The Dye Box is one of many exhibitions happening throughout Belfast Design Week, as part of Irish Design Week. You can view the full programme of events here.
