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.
