SUMMARY:Forgotten Fleece Tales
DESCRIPTION:Forgotten Fleece Tales\nStrathnaver Museum Annex 1st June to 31st August 2027 | 10am to 5pm\, Mon to Sat\nForgotten Fleece Tales is a celebration of the space where art\, craft\, story and ecology come together. The exhibition features a curated collection of works made using “waste” or “unwanted” organic Scottish fleece\, and byproducts of industrial fleece processing. \nWith a combination of wearables\, wall hangings\, home textiles\, sculptural pieces and interactive experiences\, Forgotten Fleece Tales provides an immersive and in-depth exploration of the enduring value of Scottish fleece\, both in terms of farming and textiles heritage\, and hopes for a sustainable future. \nThe theme of “forgotten” fleece will bind the pieces together in the form of a unique piece of short fiction written for each creation. These tales will draw on aspects of Scottish folklore\, history\, and landscapes. They will invite readers to connect more closely with the story of wool – both in the pieces on display\, and in their everyday lives. Visitors can engage with these stories in their written format or follow QR codes to discover video recordings. \nThis exploration of fleece in folklore will be further drawn upon by a featured panel funded by the Scottish Government\, exploring the role of textiles in our country’s lore and legend\, and including traditional stories retold by a renowned folklore expert. \nForgotten Fleece Tales aims to engage visitors with sensory experiences\, challenging them to honour wool’s place in our heritage\, and to rethink it as a sustainable and versatile material for our future.
