| Description: | Podcast interview with Becky Earley and Grant Gibson, for the Material Matters series. In this episode they chat about: how Becky started using polyester and why it’s a problematic material; idealism versus pragmatism and transition rather than revolt; the value system we build around materials; discovering textile design by chance; empowering women through the education system; circularity’s relationship with the market; designing systems; the importance of people; and her love of wild swimming. |
