The Fibre Cycle

Seasonal gatherings for learning, making and shared practice. The Fibre Cycle is an invitation to cultivate the sensitive eyes and attentive hands of the seasonal maker. It is an opportunity to notice what is plentiful, what is ripe for harvesting, what has fallen or been pruned, and what a particular material might be asking of us. As we move between basket weaving, eco-dyeing, mending, spinning and other earth-based creative processes, we begin to discover the possibilities held within different fibres, and to feel into which materials, techniques and ideas draw us in. Each season brings its own offerings and limitations, rhythms and invitations. The Fibre Cycle creates space to follow those shifts, turn ideas over in our hands, explore unexpected connections between practices, and allow our making to be guided by curiosity, inspiration and a deepening attentiveness to the living world.
