Sustainable Textiles Symposium

Join us for the inaugural MTNS MADE Sustainable Textiles Symposium - a dynamic gathering of industry leaders and emerging voices in sustainable fashion and textiles.

We welcome Julie Paterson (Cloth) hosting an ‘In Conversation’ with Jane Milburn OAM (Textile Beat), Robert Inshaw (Summit Gear, Whippa), and Jessica Leslie (Koskela), alongside a new generation of makers. Together, they’ll explore how we can build a more ethical, sustainable textile industry, locally and beyond. A Q&A will follow, featuring physical examples and maker presentations.

Experience Demonstrations by local artisans and create your own MTNS MADE t-shirt, gaining insight into conscious making. Julie Paterson will also pop up her trailer, ‘Roly’.
