The Fibershed Movement: A Local Lens on Sustainable Textiles
About The Fibershed Movement: A Local Lens on Sustainable Textiles
Join us for an inspiring introduction to the Fibershed movement, with a special focus on the Greater Cumberland Fibershed. In this engaging talk, you'll discover how regional textile communities are reshaping the way we think about clothing—from soil to soil. Learn how the Greater Cumberland Fibershed is building a local network of farmers, artisans, and makers dedicated to regenerative practices, sustainable fiber systems, and community-centered production.
Whether you're a fiber artist, farmer, maker, or simply curious about where your textiles come from, this presentation will illuminate how you can participate in the movement—whether through the Greater Cumberland Fibershed or by connecting with a Fibershed affiliate in your own region.
