Wild Textiles: Grown Foraged Found

A beautiful guide to creating sustainable textile art directly from the natural world. Textile artist Alice Fox invites makers to work with what’s found, foraged, gathered, or grown — grounding creativity in the rhythms of the seasons and the materials close at hand.

From homegrown flax and nettles to dandelions, leaves, grasses, stones, shells, and even urban castoffs, Fox shows how everyday natural elements can be transformed into cordage, vessels, stitched surfaces, woven forms, and richly textured artworks. Her approach encourages experimentation, resourcefulness, and a deep sense of place.

Packed with practical techniques, foraging ideas, and inspiration for working in harmony with the landscape, this book is a thoughtful companion for anyone drawn to slow craft, sustainability, and the quiet magic of making with nature.
