One Year, One Outfit
Local Fibre, Local Labour, Local Colour at the Manitoba Fibre Festival
One Year One Outfit is a community-based collection of stories and fibre pieces exploring local material and human resources. Between April 2022 and April 2023 participants spent 12 months growing, designing and constructing wearable items made exclusively from locally sourced materials. From tanned buckskin and handspun wool to local clay buttons and basketry, the One Year One Outfit pieces showcase the abundance of fibre and botanical color available in our local fibreshed, as well as the skills and ingenuity of its makers.
Come to the Manitoba Fibre Festival to view the stunning collection on display Friday, September 8th, 5-9pm and Saturday, September 9th, 10am - 4pm at the Red River Ex.
One Year One Outfit is an ongoing project of the Pembina Fibreshed. Learn more at https://www.pembinafibreshed.com/one-year-one-outfit.
