How do we generate sustainable practice? How can this be applied at both the maker level and then to the fabric/apparel system?

Join us for an engaging  listening session focused on the intersection of sustainability and the circular economy within the realm of fiber arts. This session aims to explore innovative practices, challenges, and opportunities for creating a more sustainable and circular approach to fiber-based crafts and industries.  How can we create a circular economic practice in Newfoundland and Labrador? Audrey Parnell is the Manager of Circular Economy and Value from Waste and econext, a not for profit accelerating green growth in the province. She hopes to engage with the Fibre community to build a cohesive network of sustainable practitioners in NL, and to help find money to support their endeavors!
