Landlines Studio present a screening of the film ‘The Nettle Dress’, as part of the programme of events for their current retrospective “Un/Earthed”.
Textile artist Allan Brown spends seven years making a dress by hand, using only the fibre of locally foraged stinging nettles. This is ‘hedgerow couture’, the greenest of slow fashion and also his medicine. It’s how he survives the death of his wife Alex and how he finds a beautiful way to honour her.
Director Dylan Howitt says: ‘This is a story about the deep value of creativity and imagination, and a slow, mindful craft that is more in tune with the natural world.’
Produced, directed, filmed and edited by Dylan Howitt
Foraged, spun, woven and sewn by Allan Brown
