The Nettle Dress - Screening + Q&A

About

Textile artist Allan Brown spends seven years making a dress by hand just from locally foraged stinging nettles. This is 'hedgerow couture', the greenest of slow fashion and also his medicine, how he survives the death of his wife that left him and his children bereft. A modern-day fairytale and hymn to the healing power of nature and slow craft.
Actor Mark Rylance called the film "Exquisite and inspiring, beautiful and helpful for anyone suffering loss or grief".

Screening followed by Q&A with the artist and film maker. Refreshments available.
