In this episode, we host Liz Mitchell MNZM—an iconic New Zealand fashion designer and materials specialist—whose deep-rooted connection to wool has sparked a powerful exploration of its creative and regenerative potential.

Liz speaks about the unique "intelligence" she feels within wool—the way it holds energy, interacts with other fibers, and carries the memory of its environment. Through storytelling and lived experience, Liz describes how working with wool has become a kind of ecological and creative gardening—an act of care, cultivation, and community. She shares her hopes for a future where small-scale local production, education, and cross-disciplinary collaboration with farmers, scientists, and artists help regenerate both the textile industry and our relationship with the land.
