Alejandra Sanchez

Alejandra (Alex) Sanchez is the textile artist and shepherd behind A Woolen Forest Farm & Textile Studio located in Mondovi, Wisconsin. The farm’s focus is the conservation of endangered heritage sheep breeds and the preservation of ancient textile practices. Alex’s work in textiles encourages folks to connect with the land, its animals, and their own ancestry and to view their wool-craft as a form of stewardship and a piece of living history. Alex teaches classes on wool spinning, wool processing, natural dyeing, heritage breed studies, and historically based textile practices.
