Micro Mill Workshops

to 21 Dec

Micro Mill Workshops

  • Corner of Dixon & Victoria Street Wellington New Zealand (map)
  • Google Calendar ICS

The aim of Micro Mill is to engage the public in weaving and spinning processes. Many of us take textiles for granted as we live in a place where they are so accessible, and so removed from where and how they are produced.

These workshops will facilitate simple weaving with textile waste, demonstrate yarn spinning, and engage in conversations related to textiles and waste.

Economic growth has improved living standards, but our current path is driving us towards ecological catastrophe. As we approach (or surpass) planetary limits and tipping points, how do we ensure a prosperous society without infinite growth?

Join the Social Change Collective for a kōrero about degrowth: what is it, why does it matter, how does it align with te ao Māori, and how can it help us achieve sustainability at a local, national, and systemic level?
