The Foraged Colour Touring Exhibition is an example of sustainable, closed-loop creation with zero air miles. Sustainably foraged materials will be our starting point for change. Our aim is to push the boundaries of place and what can be sourced locally, delivering examples of sustainable textiles.The exhibition resonates with the current discourse about biodiversity, climate change, re-use and upcycling.
Through the investigation of natural dye plants and fungi that are readily available in the UK, the aim of the project is to create contemporary textiles and garments from British wool, to exemplify the abundance of colour and natural resources around us.
