Learn about the social and environmental impacts
of our textiles... and what we can do about it!

What are our textiles made of? How are they manufactured? What impact do they have on our society, our climate, and our natural world? Most importantly, what can we do differently?

Work as a team to discover the answers to these questions and more, with the aid of our informative cards, a qualified facilitator, and stimulating conversations.

Textiles Untangled is for anyone who is interested, whether members of the general public, students, or professionals. The workshop can be held in person or online, and is available in different formats: Classic, Quiz, or The Textile Challenge.

Testimonials

"To everyone interested in textiles and sustainable consumption"

“I had the chance to participate in a Fresque du Textile workshop and I loved the experience! It's fun, extremely informative, and really makes you think about the impact of our clothing. The atmosphere was friendly, and you learn a lot while freely exchanging ideas, without judgment. I 100% recommend it to anyone who is curious, sensitive to environmental issues, or simply interested in textiles and sustainable consumption!”Yaëlle (Tourcoing, 2025)
