The Nettle Dress Film with Q&A - invited guest

Sustainable Fashion Week Frome: Screening of Dylan Howitt’s documentary The Nettle Dress with Q&A

Allan Brown makes a dress by hand just from the fibre of foraged stinging nettles over 7 years. A labour of love in the truest sense. The Nettle Dress is a modern-day fairytale and hymn to the healing power of nature and slow craft. It’s one story representing a huge groundswell of people rediscovering the joys of making. Actor Mark Rylance called the film “Exquisite and inspiring, beautiful and helpful for anyone suffering loss or grief.”
