WRAPPING

Seen...Not Seen...Nutscene

Just a short drive away from the city of Dundee, in the rural county of Angus in Scotland, you'll find the locals employed at the Nutscene factory using the same machinery first used back in 1922, to produce their twines.
Nutscene's patented “Greentwist” centre pull lock tie spool of twine was first produced in this factory. When this wonderful green twine was used to tie up plants it was, of course, ‘not seen’ giving rise to “Nutscene!”

Today, Nutscene are very much in the crafters and gardeners spotlight, with an offering of 22 colours of Jute twine they've christened the twine fest!

 
Nutscene still focuses on producing its own range of high quality garden twines which are ethically sourced, from sustainable crops. Jute, in particular, is an environmentally beneficial crop. It's rain fed, fast growing , grows on wastelands and improves soil for future crops as well as sequestering CO2.

The offering of products has grown significantly since that first launch, and its popularity increases-across the globe.
 
Nutscene’s eclectic range of practical gifts utilises natural materials where possible, incorporating FSC wood, bidegradable jute and recycled cotton twines.

Betty has been painting with Artists of Ampilatwatja since 2013. She draws her inspiration from the country where she goes hunting or looking for bush yams and bush bananas, “sometimes I just like to go out there to see country”.

Made in Australia
Dimensions: 45cm x 75cm (approx)

The Artists of Ampilatwatja community was established in 1999 near Alice Springs in the Northern Territory. The work produced by the artists is recognisably distinct from other Aboriginal artistic communities, due to the application of fine dots and the often bright, figurative depiction of the land. 

“This is my country. I paint because I enjoy painting. My Mother, Edie Holmes let us paint with her when we were young and now we paint all the time. We still paint and talk together in a family group with our kids.” – Alana Holmes

The community of Ampilatwatja made a conscious decision not to paint altyerr dreaming stories. The artists paint their country where those stories sit.

Alana has painted her country after rain where the ground may seem dry but the flowers and trees are green and growing strong. 

Alana's mother Edie Holmes is a well known artist of Ampilatwatja, who taught Alana how to paint when she was a young child.

Like many mums, Alana is extremely busy with four children to look after and though she loves to paint she does not get the time to paint like she used to.
