One of today's guests spent seven years spinning a dress from stinging nettles and the other spent five years documenting the process. The result was the incredibly moving documentary The Nettle Dress [https://www.nettledress.org/] — which I have now seen twice — co-created by Dylan Howitt and Allan Brown. It's a love letter to old skills, hand crafts and everything that cannot be hurried; to fibersheds, foraged threads, gentle stories, and the magic of following your heart.Dylan Howitt [https://www.dylanhowitt.com/] is a BAFTA nominated filmmaker whose roll call includes BBC, Netflix and Discovery. Allan Brown [https://www.instagram.com/hedgerow.couture/?hl=en] is a textile artist and subject of the film whose steady commitment to disrupting consumer culture is contagious.It's hard to sing The Nettle Dress's praises highly enough without shattering a window, but I truly hope you're moved to watch it after this conversation, perhaps with a posse of pals and a cauldron of nettle soup.🧙‍♀️ LINKY POOS ***Watch The Nettle Dress [https://www.nettledress.org/watch]***The Nettle Dress's home on the web [https://www.nettledress.org/home]The Nettle Dress on Instagram [https://www.instagram.com/nettledressfilm/?hl=en]Short film & group ~ Nettles for Textiles [http://www.nettlesfortextiles.org.uk/wp/]Flaxland UK [https://www.flaxland.co.uk/]**Support Reskillience on Patreon [https://www.patreon.com/c/Reskillience]***
