The textile industry is responsible for roughly a 3rd of global emissions. We use reclaimed fabrics except where we create them. We measure how much fabric we keep out of landfill. #investinourplanet #earthdayeveryday @WRAP

[Significant Seams @SigSeams]

Connectedness to nature, each other, & future generations is an important part of wellbeing. We use flowers, plants, silks, bark, and wool as our art materials, along with reclaimed fabrics. #Investinourplanet #earthdayeveryday #earthday2023 #craftfulness

[Significant Seams @SigSeams]

In 2020, a surprising theme of reflections and experiences of lockdown was nature. ‘We need Trees,’ embroidered birds, scenes made clear the climate crisis was on our mind. #Investinourplanet #earthdayeveryday #earthday2023 @artscouncilengland @librariesunlimited

[Significant Seams @SigSeams]

We find creative inspiration from nature. It is an inspiration. In 2019, we worked with over 200 unpaid carers co-creating The Carer’s Nest. #Investinourplanet #earthdayeveryday #earthday2023 @devoncarers @natures_voice @devonwildlifetrust @devonwildlife

Had a fab time with #destinationdartmoor and @turningtidescic extracting colour to silk and cotton from flowers and onion skins on Friday for @sigseams . https://t.co/Ypn6B0mGSm

[Significant Seams @SigSeams]

@ace_southwest @RAMMuseum @catherinewestSS our director was spotted in the wild! Not a surprise to see she attended this opening given her artistic practice- her dye studio definitely has a witchy feel with jars of concoctions. Thanks to a friend at @LibrariesUnLtd for letting us know about the picture!
