The Nettle Dress +Recorded Q&A
Allan Brown makes a dress by hand just from the fibre of foraged stinging nettles over 7 years. A modern day fairytale and hymn to the healing power of nature and slow craft. The film is a handspun labour of love too and follows him every step of the way.
“THIS IS AN EXQUISITE FILM. EXTREMELY BEAUTIFUL AND HELPFUL FOR ANYONE SUFFERING LOSS OR GRIEF. AN INSPIRATION.”

“IF YOU’VE EVER WONDERED WHAT THE EARTH WOULD HAVE FASHION DO, THIS IS YOUR ANSWER.”
