‘Merched y Tir’ follows three artists in rural North Wales whose creative lives are shaped by place, material, and season. From weaving willow to writing and making fabric from natural materials, their practices are bound to the rhythms of the land they inhabit.
Filmed observationally, it lingers on land-based making ~ work carried out slowly, by hand, and in dialogue with nature.
Intimate and tactile, the film reflects on labour, sustainability, and women’s creative relationships with the landscapes they call home. It offers a quiet reflection on how women continue to create meaningfully and sustainably within contemporary Cymru ~ guided by land, season, inherited knowledge, and a deep appreciation for the natural world
