Creating Wall Art from Discarded Wool

As part of the Forgotten Fleece Tales Exhibition on display at Verdant Works Museum until 10 October 2026, we speak to Dundee-based artist Sandra Junele, to learn more about her exhibition piece, Tartan Wall Art. 🖼️ Forgotten Fleece Tales is a touring Scottish exhibition of sustainable textile arts. It focuses on the theme of wool as an undervalued resource, and demonstrates the material’s enduring beauty and versatility, through commissions by 20 artists based in Scotland.

By hand, she carefully separates textile waste, shred fibres, and binds them with her own plant-based glue — creating a unique material that is both tactile and sustainable. Remarkably, it can dissolve in water and be reused again, offering endless possibilities. As the artist and maker behind JUNELE, Sandra crafts one-of-a-kind wall panels, installations, and sculptural artworks to tell stories and stand out — sustainably.
