In the fall of 2024, we started to work with Fashion @ The Creative School and began to develop a 2-day event that would replace the traditional 1-day Landmade market in February. The first collaboration was called Fashion x Landmade, and was hosted at The School of Image Arts at 122 Bond St. on March 14 and 15, 2025.
Each year we have focussed on bringing farms, students, artisans, makers and thinkers together for a 2-day event that celebrates all the amazing fibre that is produced in Ontario.
Entry to the event is FREE and both days are open to the fibre community and general public. We also wanted to build on the Landmade mandate to provide farmed fibre to urban makers. We want to provide the opportunity for TMU students, as well as students from other post-secondary schools in the GTA, with the opportunity to meet fibre farms and learn about what is grown and processed in Ontario. We hope that they will be inspired to explore what natural fibres can offer in textile production, but also in other fields ~ interior design, sustainability, technical production and climate solutions.
We're excited about our line up of participants and each day offers different farms and activities so feel free to come both days!

Melinda Ramsay from Lickety Spit Fibre Farm is the founder of Landmade. Lickety Spit Fibre Farm is an alpaca and sheep farm located south of Hamilton, which produces fleece, yarn, roving and finished goods with the fibre we grow. We are committed to raising our animals with compassion and ethical husbandry, and to promoting the unlimited possibilities of natural fibre. Melinda is passionate about agricultural education, encouraging people to embrace natural fibres and supporting the important work of Ontario fibre farms, mills and producers. She is always happy to talk about, use or skirt wool especially.
Rachel MacHenry is an experienced designer and educator who brings exceptional depth and knowledge to the field. With over twenty years of international experience developing textiles and fashion projects in collaboration with artisan communities for both public- and private-sector clients, including international projects for the Government of Canada and UNESCO, her work focuses on inclusive and sustainable practices and community-focused design. Using her extensive experience working with natural dyes, traditional techniques, and bio-regional fibres and materials, she has developed collections with artisan communities in Haiti, Peru, Nepal, India, Pakistan, Assam and elsewhere, and is involved in ongoing investigations into natural dyes and fibres through a multi-year SSHRC funded research project, "The Art of Necessity".

Landmade began in 2017 with Melinda's idea that there needed to be a fibre event that focussed on fibre farms, where only fibre farms were the vendors. In typical fibre markets, indie dyers and tool/notion makers share the same market space as the farmers that are raising animals at the same time that they are promoting natural fibres and selling what they grow. Farmers who are in the barn late at night in -20 weather during lambing season, farmers who have to shear and skirt their fleeces before they head to the mill and farmers who are bringing in hay and not dyeing their yarn. Melinda wanted to create an event where the fleece, yarn and roving that is sold is grown in Ontario by farmers that care for their animals and who are passionate about what they do.
Landmade brings Ontario fibre farmers to the city, bringing with them the fibre that comes from the animals they care for each day. It gives urban Makers the opportunity to meet the people that are raising the fibre, to buy the materials for their own projects directly from the farm.
TMU Fashion x Landmade is FREE to attend, with the exception of the Saturday Skills Building workshops.
