On Friday evening, January 30th, the Porcupine Theater hosted a presentation of the film “The Nettle Dress” based on textile artist Allen Brown’s endeavor who spent seven years making a dress from foraged nettles as a “medicine to survive the death of his wife” in the South Downs, England near Brighton. The event opened with a presentation from local nettle artist Carla Klinker and her journey working with the fibers from local plants. Klinker spoke to KBBI’s Emilie Springer about her own adventure learning about the process and art of working with the plants.
