Who grew your clothes?
To harness our local resources to produce anything as sophisticated as a garment of clothing involves many processes, and a network of farmers, growers, mills, manufacturers, and designers as well as advocates, activists, and bloody-minded facilitators who are determined to create a new paradigm for fashion.
Fibershed is a movement. Its goal: the development of systems from ‘soil to soil;’ where textiles are grown, processed, designed, sewn, sold, worn, and eventually composted. These processes offer a means of connecting the fashion industry with community, with society and with the environment so that they can all thrive.
This exhibition is an introduction to South West England Fibreshed. Tel: 01285 657181
Started in the USA, the Fibershed movement uses the American spelling ‘fiber’. UK affiliate communities follow the British spelling ‘fibre’.
