CCANW
|
The Centre for Contemporary Art and the Natural World in Exeter is an innovative educational charity -
unique in the UK - focused on exploring new understandings of
our place within Nature through the Arts.
The new Wool Directory is the latest in a series of projects,
which, over the past two years, CCANW has initiated to raise the
profile of wool, its use by makers, designers and artists, and
its contribution to the economy and local distinctiveness.
