EclipseShear
Ultra-exclusive 3-day workshops in remote fishing communities during total solar eclipses where participants create wool textiles using fish-scale bio-dyes while learning from marine biologists about how celestial events affect ocean ecosystems. Each event produces artworks that literally could not exist at any other time or place.
The Wow Moment
Standing on a Patagonian beach during totality, you watch your hand-spun merino wool transform with iridescent aquamarine hues—created from local squid ink bio-pigments—as a marine biologist beside you explains that the very fish whose ink you're using are swimming erratically below due to the eclipse, making you feel you're literally capturing the cosmos in your textile.
