Sustainability is at the core of my work and my art. Taking discarded and deadstock fabrics, I upcycle them into hand drafted, unique, wearable pieces. Also key to sustainability is educating others in the way they connect with their existing clothes. Out of my cooperative studio 'HWY 6 Studios', I teach the community in aims of empowering to create, mend and embellish their clothes so they continue wearing them. Inspired by the unpredictability of nature, I spend time plant dyeing, combining it with the practice of weaving and beading.

Chloe teaches different textile practices at 'HWY 6 studios' in nelson, bc. She encourages sustainable practices and shares a creative outlet that supports good mental health.

Boneyard revival strives to do the eco-thinking and acting for you. We want you to purchase with confidence, knowing your products are sustainable and ethical.

This year I am starting my own dye garden to both dye and teach with. I run a small business upcycling fabrics into clothing but I also use some plant dyed fabrics. I also weave using plant dyed yarns and excited to learn about other local fibres.
