Regenerative Fibre Workshops, Talks & Creative Learning
We connect people with fibre, farming and regenerative systems through hands-on learning, material exploration and making.
Connecting to the land through fibre
Every natural fibre carries a story of land, farming, culture and human skill.
I share these stories through hands-on workshops, public talks and university lectures, drawing on my journey across natural fibres, fashion, regenerative agriculture and business. Sometimes we learn through touch and making; at other times, we step back to explore regenerative design, circular systems, responsible sourcing and new business models for fashion and textiles.
Whether I am speaking with students, farmers, creative teams or the wider public, the aim is the same: to offer keys for understanding complexity, inspire new ways of innovating with nature rather than against it, and help people recognise their own ability to create change within their workplaces and communities.
Upcoming: Groundswell Festival 2026
Thursday 2 July 2026 · The Teapot · Groundswell Festival
This July, I’ll be joining Billie Coxhead, Materials Librarian at University of the Arts London, for a hands-on seminar exploring the connection between farming, fibre and the materials we wear.
Through sensory exploration, guided reflection and hand spinning, Spinning Stories of the Land: Reconnecting Farming Through Fibre invites participants to trace fibres back to their agricultural origins and discover the landscapes, farming systems and human knowledge behind them.
Together, we’ll create space for curiosity, conversation and making, offering a tangible way to explore regenerative agriculture through touch and lived experience.
