“Thought provoking wholesome project. Regaining a stronger connection with nature feels so important and needed - especially in these times. I’ve loved seeing the progression from seed to fibre, which is shown so beautifully in Alice’s exhibition”
“Alice Hume’s From Soil to Cloth brings to the surface memories of the past, of being closer to the earth. Of grounding and growing and working the earth with our hands. Beautifully and organically curated at the round round tower, her practiced mindfulness permeates the entire body of work. May you grow in strength Alice”
“Amazingly gentle space - it just flows quietly”
“Inspiring to see so many messages from people who have been touched by and engaged with this project that talk about inclusion, belonging and joy. That to me speaks strongly about the power of the creative process.”
“A true and timeless experience, almost poetic. The beautiful smells and textures take you back in time while also completely immersing you in the present”
“Community is everything and is brought to life here”
