Green Mountain Weavers and Spinners Guild presents master weaver and textile designer Peggy Hart who will speak about the Fiber Shed movement. Peggy is the owner of Bedfellows Blankets and inaugural member of the Western Massachusetts Fiber Shed.
In the same way that we consider where our food comes from (ie our "food shed"), many of us are also thinking about where our clothing comes from. What is "fast fashion" and who pays the cost for it? How do we move toward a more sustainable way of producing and wearing clothing? What is happening regionally and how do we support the farmers and makers who are making this happen?
All are welcome!
