Screening with EPFC North and EartHand Gleaners at Moberly Arts & Cultural Centre | AUTUMN FIBRE AND FILM CELEBRATION Sunday, October 15: 1 – 4 PM Join us for this very special afternoon that includes a unique opportunity to work with fireweed and nettle; both wild plant fibres for spinning and rope making. Experienced spinners are invited to try  the first few prototypes of blackberry composite  drop spindles made from  the stalks of invasive Himalayan blackberry, using both the nettle fibres and local fleece dyed with local plants, including fireweed. 

All of this fibre exploration is a lead up to our feature event of screening The Nettle Dress, a film made by Dylan Howitt that documents British artist Allan Brown’s  seven year process of foraging nettles in his nearby forests and learning all the processes through to weaving a dress. Preceding the feature will be a Super 8 short made by local community members working with the Echo Park Film Collective that shows the making of the drop spindles and processing of fibres we have just been handling- the film itself processed in nettles!

Total screening time for both films is approximately 1.15 minutes and will be followed by an informal Q and A with several of the artists in these projects. Location: Moberly Arts & Cultural Centre, 7646 Prince Albert St, Vancouver, BC
