Harris Tweed 2021 Conference

Catch up on the sessions you missed

This year, we at the Harris Tweed Authority decided to share our story in a new way – with our first Harris Tweed Authority Educational Trust online conference. Our aim was to open the doors and welcome you into ‘The Home of Harris Tweed®’ (our theme for the 2021 conference). This was a special opportunity for the many who would love to visit our islands, but for the time being are unable. Missed the conference this year? You can still catch up here. In three sessions: explore the role of the Harris Tweed Authority, dip into island history and get a taste for what it means to be a Harris Tweed® weaver as part of a unique industry and heritage.
