The non-profit Fibershed held a workshop with Christine Jones and gave permission to TUC Radio to broadcast from their recordings.
Fibershed is based in San Geronimo in West Marin, California. They grew out of the cooperation of fiber producers, mainly sheep ranchers and those who are collecting and growing plants for natural dyes with those who spin and weave textiles.
Thanks for the audio to John Parulis who recorded the workshop with Dr. Christine Jones on June 20, 2019.
