Talking wool, energy & sheep!

Art and Energy recently hosted an online gathering to discuss potential uses for wool from Dartmoor and ways to try and use waste fleeces, the event was in partnership with our friends at Plymouth Energy Community as part of our PEC Pals Warm and Well project.

We brought together a wide range of presenters and experts to discuss a variety of uses for wool and issues surrounding fleeces and how they can be used.

We heard from the following presenters:

• Justine Colton - Tor Royal Farm, Princetown, Dartmoor.

• David Attwell - Dartmoor Hill Farm Project

• Becki Gilbert - Natural Fibre Company, Launceston, Cornwall.

• Catherine West - Significant Seams CIC

• Yuli Somme - Bellacouche

• Mary Toon - Mary Felt Amazing

• Gabrielle Jackson - Toby’s Garden Festival

We really enjoyed hosting this online seminar - if you couldn’t join us then do watch the recording below and get in touch if you have questions. If you get creative using wool and fleece then why not share your creations on our new Bury the Giant Club? It’s free to join and we’d love to have you!
