Video by Nicola Brown

[Ann @ frabjous fabrica]

Eco printing, felting, renovations and developing a sustainable textile practice at Clasheen.  This is the title of a You Tube video "at 6pm BST (Irish time) on Saturday 30th October! During our time together I'll be sharing the development of my sustainable textile practice at Clasheen, from renovating an old Irish farmhouse, starting to felt, beginning to ecoprint, adding an off the grid studio, planting trees and developing natural dye borders. The backbone of this video was commissioned by the IFA (International Feltmakers Association) and released to their members for ReConnect at their 2021 AGM. I've updated and edited it to include new images taken this spring and summer so hope you enjoy this glimpse at life in rural Ireland!" - Nicola's words

I saw her original video and it was very interesting.  I'm looking forward to watching the updated version.  I'm sure our members will be interested too.

I can highly recommend watching Nicola at work at Clasheen. Being a member of the IFA, I followed the videos she made for the group that lockdown year and was totally enamoured with her practice and the quality of her work 👍

I like her too, and I find her very generous with her information, giving out tips and details to anyone who is keen to learn.
