In this episode, I speak with Carry Somers who shares her research and insights on the deep relationship between textiles, history, and the environment, emphasizing the importance of understanding the origins and stories behind our fibers to foster a more sustainable and reciprocal relationship with nature.
From ancient fibres like oak bark used millions of years ago to modern discoveries in lakes, the story of fabric is a story of our relationship with the Earth.
The fascinating part, natural fibres might have more potential than we think, if we look at them through a different lens.This isn't just about sustainability it's about recognizing our impact and reconnecting with the roots of our clothes.
What's one small thing you could do today to honor that story? Maybe dye a sheet with wild plants or ask brands about their fibres.
We speak about:
Research findings on fibers in Rudyard Lake and their implications
The history of natural fibers and their cultural significance
The importance of storytelling and understanding the origins of textiles
The relationship between humans and nature through fibers
Innovations in natural dyeing and fiber cultivation
