The Nettle Dress

Written By David Schnitzer

Textile artist Allan Brown spends seven years making a dress by hand, using only the fiber of foraged stinging nettles. This is ‘hedgerow couture’, the greenest of slow fashion. It’s also the medicine that helps him survive the death of his wife and how he finds a beautiful way to honor her. This film is only available in-person and will not be available virtually.
