The Nettle Dress
Sun 18 May, 2pm
Textile artist Allan Brown spends seven years making a dress by hand just from the fibre of locally foraged stinging nettles.
It’s how Allan survives the passing of his wife, and how he finds a beautiful way to honour her.
A labour of love in the truest sense, this documentary is a hymn to the healing power of nature and slow craft.
After the film join us for a crafting session. Bring along your own projects for a bit of gentle crafting – we’ll bring the coffee and cake!
Ash Rise
Sun 1 June, 2:30pm
The Ash Rise documentary film tells the story of this beautiful tree, its historic and contemporary brilliance as a material and the challenges of ash die-back. The film features Tom Addy, Angus and Lorna Ross, Dr. Helen Mackay OBE, Alice Broome and Andrew Macqueen.
Following the film, there will be a discussion, led by Andrew Mcqueen, exploring how we can return to using ash to its full potential as a material for craft and furniture making, not just firewood.
