The following webinar is part of our Speaker Series for our “Borrowed from the Soil” Design Challenge. The event is open to all designers and the general public.

Are you a designer or textile producer who wants to better understand how you can connect with regional fiber and dye producers to improve the ecosystem impact of your textile operations?

Do you want to learn more about how regional, nature fiber and dye farming systems can benefit ecosystem health in measurable and tangible ways?

This webinar will cover an introduction to Climate Beneficial(TM) farming systems for wool and cotton in California, including visions for a more resilient future for these fibers, and a discussion about sourcing natural dyes for textile and garment production to improve ecosystem health.

Three industry experts will share their work and perspectives: Lani Estill (rancher and artisan of Lani’s Lana), Lauren Tucker, and Kathy Hattori (of Botanical Colors).

Moderated by Heather Podoll of Fibershed
