'Woman Grows Jeans' Film Screening, Talk and Q&A
About this Event
Justine Aldersey Williams is a Wirral-based regenerative clothing activist, botanical textile dyer, and founder of the Northern England Fibreshed. From her studio The Wild Dyery in Hoylake, she has taught natural fabric dyeing to thousands of students worldwide, sharing skills that connect people to the land through plant-based colour.
In 2021 Justine began a project to plant flax and indigo, spin yarn, and weave cloth to produce the UK’s only pair of homegrown jeans.
Come to WEN to watch 'Woman Grows Jeans', which documents Justine's progress, shows the many challenges she faced and eventually reveals the results of her hard work and determination to prove that clothing can be made without a high cost to the planet.
The jeans are a celebration of the traditional skills that reconnect us to nature’s wisdom and the film proves that the power to create change is still in our hands.
After the screening of the film, Justine will give a short talk to update us on her work, followed by a Q&A session.
There is a £5 suggested donation for this event, payable on the door.
