Why Liz Mitchell wants us to love wool again

Liz Mitchell wants to revive the wool industry by reminding us of all the great things about the material. She says wool is enduring, versatile and breathable - and not just as a clothing product. One of New Zealand's leading fashion designers, she has an exhibition celebrating wool until December. Liz also has plans to create a textile hub at the Corban Estate Art Centre in Auckland - where her ongoing exhibition is taking place. The hub would be a space where people could come and learn how to work with wool. She has already secured a wet felting machine and a dry felting machine to work with there. The Wool Revolution - Powered by Liz Mitchell, and her exhibition This Raw Material, is on at the Corban Estate Arts Centre until 9 December.
