Afternoon Event – The Nettle Dress Film Screening + Q&A
Textile artist Allan Brown spends seven years making a dress by hand just from locally foraged stinging nettles. This is his medicine. It’s how he survives the passing of his wife, leaving him and their four children bereft, and how he finds a beautiful way to honour her. Following Allan’s journey through seasons and years, foraging, spinning, weaving, cutting and sewing the cloth, before finally sharing a healing vision of the dress back in the woods where the nettles were picked – a labour of love in the truest sense.
- Thursday 1 August 1-3pm – Attleborough Town
