Inside Look: Working Within New York’s Fiber Supply Chain
Join us for a conversation with a selection of grantees from NYFIC’s first round of funding, including Kristina Collins, Karen Oddo and Mari Stefano of Graze, and Melissa Anne Conroy of Cornell University.
Each will share their projects and how they are engaging New York’s fiber and textile supply chain, from raw material through product development.
You’ll come away with:
A clearer understanding of how local fiber moves through New York’s supply chain
Real examples of how projects are navigating sourcing, processing, and production
Insights into what it takes to translate New York grown materials into viable products
