Join Emma Hague, Rosie Bristow and Sofi Thanhauser in this LWA webinar to discuss our fibre industry and what the future holds.
Emma Hague is the founder of the Southwest England Fibreshed and takes her knowledge and experience of working to establish the Bristol Cloth Project to bring to life the vision for a soil-to-soil garment.
Rosie Bristow @straw_into_gold is a MSc student of Fashion and Textile Management based at Phantassie Organic Farm in Scotland. Rosie’s focus is on small to mid scale flax processing equipment, which currently proves a major hurdle in the endeavour of growing your own clothes. Sofi Thanhauser is a writer and artist who has recently published ‘Worn: a People’s History of Clothing’ which follows five materials through history. Linen, Cotton, Silk, Synthetics and Wool, these are the stories of the clothes we wear and where they come from.
