For this class, we’re putting Ntown front and centre as we celebrate beer made here in our great county. Taste a selection of locally brewed beers, as we celebrate Northamptonshire together. (big city lights don’t bother me...)
Join us in watching a film by Sewing Stories starring XEN, based on sustainable art & fashion with a focus on the local community Come join us for a special event at V and B Northampton! We're hosting a film screening for Sewing Stories and a pop-up shop where you can discover upcycled art & fashion pieces created by XEN whilst immersing yourself in a short film based on sustainability within the fashion industry and XENs back story along the way. This community based project has been filmed over the past year and we are exciting to be showcasing it on October the 12th. The film follows the process of creating a unique art/fashion piece using the scraps from local businesses. Starring XEN as the local artisan and how his passion has taken him where he is. The entire film was created by a group of talented students from the university of Northampton as their final year project. The local family owned businesses involved in the film and supplying the material used are Passenger Outfitters, Time Warp and Lyon Leathers. Alongside the film there will be a pop up shop showcasing and selling XEN pieces created over the past few years...
