Katie teaches classes in a huge variety of textile crafts, including stinging nettles, nalbinding, mending, solar dyeing, embroidery etc, to help people gain an appreciation for the art of slow fashion.
Her most popular workshop covers the history and mythology of stinging nettles, why the archaeology of textiles matter, and how to make nettle thread using Bronze Age (2500-500 BCE) techniques. This amazing plant can be used as food, dye, fabric and medicine, and appears in fairy tales such as ‘The Wild Swans’, where a princess must break a spell by weaving eleven nettle shirts. In this course, you will only have to make thread!
