An article series in partnership with Fibershed, an international movement that develops regional fiber systems that build soil & protect the health of our biosphere.
Visual artist-turned-textile enthusiast and pioneer Reed McLaren’s deep affection for natural materials led her to uncover the lost arts of garment grooming and sustainable clothing care. Through research of historical tools and techniques with hands-on experimentation, and the documentation of various travels and encounters in the field, she explores all aspects of how these once necessary practices can guide us toward a more sustainable modern age.
