In September, we spent our days breaking, scutching, and hackling flax stems to separate the fibres from the woody parts of the stalks. We were incredibly lucky with the warm weather, which is crucial at this stage of the process. The work turned out to be much more time-consuming than I had expected, and it took us five whole days to process just half of the flax we had grown. Despite all the preparation and organisation involved, we spent some truly beautiful days outdoors, in good company and fresh air. Every time I do manual work outside, away from screens, I’m reminded of just how much I enjoy it and how meaningful it feels. Thank you to all my friends who took the time to lend a hand and support me in this project, and to Tončka for letting us her equpment. And a huge thank you to Bore and Majda from Domačija Raztresen for their warm hospitality, for lending us their equipment, and for sharing their knowledge with us. Their generosity helps keep alive the textile tradition of growing flax and making linen fbabric in Bela Krajina, Slovenia. We now have beautiful flax fibres, ready to be spun during the autumn and winter months. If you’d like to join us and lend a hand with the next stage, feel free to send me a DM. There’s still plenty to learn and do, and more hands are always welcome.

Flax while retting, filmed from the sky. We were all so surprised by how beautiful the pattern was. The flax stems were collected from the field at the beginning of this week, after two weeks of retting on the soil. During the first nine days of retting, the temperatures were very high and the retting process was extremely slow. Luckily, we had two days of rain after that, which provided the stems with the moisture they needed. Next week, we will be extracting the fibers from the stems, and I really hope we got the timing of the retting right and that the fibers will be of good quality. Retting is a bit of a lottery and a process that is difficult to control. Thank you to Danilo Orlič for recording and editing this video, and to @natorlic for organizing the filming. #growinglinenproject #flax #linen #textiletradition #nature

Še zadnje “pukanje” / puljenje lana to soboto. Celoten proces se je zavlekel bolj kot sem planirala. Zaradi več dejavnikov, med glavnimi je plevel, ki zelo upočasnjuje delo (video na koncu objave) in prevelika površina njive. Vsekakor lahko rečem, da je letošnje leto projekta @growinglinen učenje iz napak :). Hvala vsem, ki ste mi do sedaj pomagali. Še zadnjič se mi lahko pridružite to soboto, 8. 8. 2026: - zjutraj od 7h naprej - popoldne od 17h naprej. Vesela bom tudi, če to objavo delite med sledilci & prijatelji. Upam, da se vidimo v soboto na njivi! :)

Vabljeni na odprtje razstave Vite Ivičič »ODTISI NARAVE«. Razstavo odpiramo 19. maja 2026. Vita Ivičič je predstavnica mlajše generacije oblikovalcev tekstilij, ki s svojim delom opozarjajo na izvor in način proizvodnje materiala samega, ki sledijo trajnostnim načelom in s svojim delom lokalno kulturno dediščino umeščajo v sodobni čas. Vsak oblačilni kos nosi razmislek o materialu in načinu izdelave, zato so rdeča nit njenih kolekcij kakovostni naravni materiali, preprosto oblikovanje in (lokalna) izdelava, ki temeljni na trajnostnih načelih. Blago in oblačila barva z naravnimi barvili ter jih tiska s tehniko botaničnega tiska. Njene belokranjske korenine so vplivale na to, da za izdelavo svojih izdelkov najraje uporablja domače laneno platno, ki ga dopolnjuje s potiski nežnih cvetličnih vzorcev. Za svoje delo je med drugim leta 2017 prejela prestižno nagrado na mednarodnem natečaju Mittelmoda v Milanu za najbolj inovativno kolekcijo tekstila. Velikega pomena je tudi Vitin odnos do lokalne (tekstilne) dediščine in skupnosti. Leta 2022 je prvič vodila projekt pridelave lanu za izdelavo platna, pri katerem je sodelovalo več kot 80 prostovoljcev. S pomočjo Boreta Raztresna, Borisa Grabrijana in Tončke Janković ter starejših gospa, ki so z nami delile svoje znanje, izkušnje in tradicionalna orodja, so se udeleženci naučili celotnega procesa – od sajenja do tkanja lanenega platna. Odzivi so jo peljali naprej in letos je začela s projektom Growing linen, v okviru katerega bodo zasejali večjo količino lanu, izvedenih bo več spletnih predavanj o pridelavi lanu in izdelavi domačega lanenega platna, celotno platno pa bo izdelano na vključujoč način vseh udeleženih. @vitaivicic @growinglinen

g r o w i n g l i n e n p r o j e c t I feel like I’ve been talking a lot about this “linen project,” but even more, I’ve been thinking about it, especially how to organise each step, from sowing flax to weaving, so that within a year we can produce at least a few meters of handwoven linen fabric. Over the past month, I’ve been searching for flax seeds with the greatest potential to produce long and strong fibers. At the same time, I’ve been postponing the sowing date for the past three weeks, as the air temperatures have been low and the soil has not yet warmed up enough. I finally made the decision that we will sow the flax on Sunday, April 19th, at 1 PM in Črnomelj. If you would like to actively participate in the sowing, please send me dm. I expect that around 20 people will be enough for this phase. I will send all additional information and instructions to those who are interested via email. Sowing is just the beginning of many processes required to produce linen fabric. It will be followed by harvesting the flax, likely in the second half of July or early August, depending on when the flax is ready. This will be followed by seed separation, fiber extraction, hand spinning, and weaving. The second half of summer and the autumn will be most active within the project. I will keep you updated about workshops and many opportunities to participate as the project develops. May this year’s harvest be good and the weather kind for growing flax, and we will make sure that, by the end of the year, we will have at least a few meters of linen in our hands. Thank you all for your interest and support.

(English version in the comments below) @growinglinen projekt se letos širi po velikosti polja, številu lokacij ter organizacijami, ki se bodo vključile v projekt. Zelo se veselim sodelovanja z @bienkranj , @londonclothco, @elvet_mill_1885 in @rokodelskicenter in sem zelo hvaležna za podporo. Danes smo si ogledali novo lokacijo polja v Črnomlju, ki je veliko kar pol hektarja. Za puljenje lanu iz zemlje z rokami, brez sodobne mehanizacije, bo to veliko dela. Cilj projekta je obujanje in ohranjanje tekstilne dediščine in ročnih del, prenašanje znanja na mlajše generacije, povezovanje skupnosti, obujanje stika z naravo in medsebojno druženje. Hvala vsem, ki ste v preteklih letih že sodelovali in pomagali ter tistim, ki ste se javili, da bi radi bili del projekta v letošnjem letu. Dela bo bilo veliko, procesi raznoliki. Potekali bodo v fazah in na različnih lokacijah ter časovnih obdobjih. V začetku marca bom organizirala Zoom srečanje, na katerem bom bolj natančno predstavila projekt, časovnico in faze dela. Veliko vas je takšnih, ki bi radi bili del projekta, pa vam je to onemogočeno zaradi oddaljenosti. Letos bo prvič na voljo možnost, da si doma posejete lan (seme vam bom poslala po pošti) in ste del skupnosti. Za sodelovanje mi prosim pošljite vaš email v zs, da vas dodam na email listo, preko katere boste obveščeni o aktualnih aktivnostih. Vabim vas tudi da sledite profilu na Instagrau @growinglinen .
