In episode 2 of our Past, Present and Future of Linen in Northern Ireland series we talk to William Clark and Sons about their beautiful Beetling Machine. As one of the only Beetling machines still in commercial use today we explore how the machine works and why it is such a staple for William Clark and Sons that even Alexander McQueen couldn't resist.
In this three-part series, commissioned by the Festival, we interview key people working in the industry currently, explore the richness of its heritage as well as what sort of innovative future it might hold.
