Weaver and natural dyer Rebecca Burgess created Fibershed as a non-profit organization. Fibershed develops textile-based communities which will generate naturally beneficial, permanent and lasting economic systems. Rebecca will share her story of her journey to create a wardrobe from the 150 mile radius surrounding her to understand the resources in her own backyard.
