Join the Wavy Wool Club + explore the relationship between wool, the environment, and the people involved in its production.
Humans gave sheep food and protection from predators, and in return, they got wool - a material with magical properties that profoundly altered the course of both human and animal history. However, with the invention of synthetic fibres, the ever-increasing exploitation of territories, peoples, and resources, as well as intensive farming, have recently led to wool becoming of little value.
The Wavy Wool Club is mostly an open space to chat, relax and make objects using lots of beautiful wool collected from various farms around the North West of England, that would have otherwise gone to waste.
Tools will be available to card, spin, felt and bookbind with the fibre.
Free to attend and open to all.
Every other Wednesday at Altogether Otherwise. Altogether Otherwise is a hobby house. A place that celebrates the sheer restorative joy of doing things for fun, who specialises in aimless pursuits that will help you to lose track of time.
