WE’RE ON A MISSION TO DESIGN A NEW FUTURE FOR NEW ZEALAND WOOL.

WHAT WE DO

We’re on a mission to design a new future for New Zealand wool. We believe every industry and person within has a responsibility to work towards a healthier planet, and that replacing synthetic plastics with wool and natural fibres is part of the solution.

At the Wool Revolution Studio, we’re working together, through craft and design, to promote the economic and environmental benefits of wool across the value chain.

Operating out of Henderson’s art precinct, Corban Estate Arts Centre, the Wool Revolution Studio exists to connect and extend a community of wool felting artists, students, designers and researchers, and explore the potential of wool product design in homes and architectural spaces.

Established through the support of AGMARDT, PledgeMe crowdfunding, the Coralus community and our incredibly generous sponsors, we have equipped our studios with textile development machinery, educational resources and crafting materials to support our network of activists and creatives.

  • Felt your pet workshop

    A workshop teaching needle felting techniques, our tutors will work with you to create a New Zealand wool felted, miniature of your pet.

  • FLOWER FELTING WORKSHOP

    Using wet and dry needing felting tehniques, you’ll leave the one-day workshop with a bouquet of felted flowers and the skills to create more at home.

  • Woven Art WORKSHOP

    Dedicated to the traditional weaving craft and the versatility of New Zealand wool, our artisans will provide you with the skill and tools to create your own custom woven art.

  • PLEDGEME SHEEP

    In 2023, our PledgeMe campaign was established to assist funding The Wool Revolution Studio. Money pledged went towards establishing a space our wool and natural fibe workshops, relevant research and resources and machinery developments.
