For FLock’s Sake

Flock’s popularity has experienced many peaks and troughs over the centuries whilst also being continually reimagined. It was invented in China 1,000BC; mechanised by monks in Medieval Europe; a cheap alternative to 17th century silk; appropriated by Indian restaurants in the 1970s; and, most recently, experienced a 21st century kitsch revival.

It's also one of the oldest reuse and recycle processes where waste yarn is used to add value to material, paper or other objects. In pushing the decadence and sumptuousness of flock through making hand tufted carpet, Sally produced waste fibres she can now use to flock other objects.
