How might local clothing be just as important a consideration as local food? What is most of our clothing made of and why might it matter? How does circularity apply to our clothing choices? How can fashion be an entry point to remembering a connection to our land, other beings, ourselves, our past and our future?

Join Jess Boeke and Sarah Pottle, co-founders of Rust Belt Fibershed, in a one-hour conversation as we discuss these questions and more, ultimately focusing on how our clothing and textile choices have the potential to regenerate our earth, our health, our local community!

Jess and Sarah are educators, community organizers, and textile artists who are passionate about regenerative design systems. They co-founded Rust Belt Fibershed in 2018 and have been working in a collaborative community to orchestrate a regenerative, bioregional textile supply chain within a 250-mile radius of Cleveland, OH. Their current work encompasses educational programming, community-based projects, and regional fiber development studies.
