Learn ways of working with nettle.

Working with nettles is a seasonal and tactile process that invites community connectivity. The long bast fiber of stinging nettle, Urtica dioica, has been used to make string and cloth for thousands of years across the world. Nettle grows wild and abundant. In folklore, magical nettle garments appear often as powerful symbols of perseverance, devotion, protection, and transformation.
