Her long-term, community-based projects are deeply rooted in the rich textile history of her surroundings, with a special focus on wool and cotton. We'll explore her acclaimed books, 'Slow Stitch' and 'Resilient Stitch,' and discover how her work champions sustainability, mental health, and local heritage. Get ready to hear about Claire's daily stitching practice, the challenges of fast fashion, and the therapeutic power of textiles that connect us to history, environment, and each other.
