Fibreshed

South East England 

June 2022 - present.​​ 

 

The Fibershed movement has instigated a paradigm shift in how we can create and source our textiles. It aims to support the creation of regenerative soil-to-soil textiles within bio-regional fibre systems that build equitable relationships between people, animal and place that move away from the current extractive mindset. 

 

 Each Fibreshed adapts its focus according to the regional context. South East England Fibreshed focuses on sheep's wool, hemp and dye plants, working with farmers as the centre point around which a collaborative regenerative network can be built.

 

A key part of the work is in education working with designers and institutions. As well as relationship building across disparate parts of the industry. Shifting mindsets to adapt to the capacity and calendar of farms that steward the land rather than the dictates of an exploitative fashion industry.

 

 SEE and SW Fibresheds have collaborated on a resource, Farming Fashion: Wool to bridge the gap between designers, processors and farmers to work effectively in building localised, regenerative supply chain for wool.

My work with SEE Fibreshed is as a project manager and a spokesperson.
