In this new exhibit, the Fernie Spinners and Weavers Guild looks at fashion through the lens of sustainability and showcases how the natural fibre arts have a direct role to play in the growing Slow Fashion movement. Content encourages viewers to explore ways we can help make a shift away from the many negative impacts of Fast Fashion systems.
Items will include a variety of textiles produced from dyeing, spinning and weaving locally made yarns, plus stitched, knitted, felted and upcycled garments along with interpretive information.
