I truly enjoyed writing this chapter, it was a very long process that started to take shape in the spring of 2024 when I was working on the manual of Craft Practices for the Team-Building for Green Organizational Behaviour in Rural Areas, while at the same time, experimenting with carded wool at the VillaInno-Wool Innovation project.
My passion for mushrooms and wool found a sweet spot: a field of interesection where fungi, more-than-human entities, sustainable crafts, ecological thinking, Arctic education and Land-based learning, coexist. The results are a series of wool felting workshops inspired by local mushrooms and Arctic nature.

I hope the readers have as much fun reading my chapter as I had writing it. At times I found myself writing my manuscript in airports, sitting in the train or at a cabin in the forest, after picking mushrooms.
It was lovely to write this article ❤️🍄
