Wool-working skills go back generations, but the companies that now work with synthetic fibres no longer have machines suitable for natural fibres. Wool-working is physical work and often done collectively. It questions our relationship to others, to time and to the elements. Here it was about diverting, increasing, truncating or amplifying these practices to envisage new pathways, tools and processes not used before for this material.
Workshop conducted by Elen Gavillet with Suzanne Albiges, Sara Bancel, Emira Becirovic, Sarah Courbon, Audrey Daniel, Mathilda Di Stefano, Fanny Dullstein, Gwenaëlle Dutay, Léo Duvernay, Margaux Habourdin, Silvia Martinez Garcia, Chloé Morel, Estée Nobili, Justine Pezet, Tim Pierre, Audrey Poulin, Lilou Pradel, Emma Ravachol, Inès Roulet and Xinzhi Wan.

Leïla Bouyssou
A freelance designer who graduated from Ésad Saint-Étienne in 2023, Leïla Bouyssou studied human sciences before turning to design. She explores the possibilities for using a forgotten resource, sheep’s wool, questioning how it is integrated in a local territory. She has worked with several nature parks, as well as livestock farmers and market gardeners.
