Keep the yarn fun from the day going by sticking around for the Make Joy After Party where we’ll be screening the woolly documentary, Sheep, Actually by filmmaker Paul Wyatt followed by a Q&A after the film with Paul, as well as Justine Lee from the London Wool Collective and Remiiya Badru, an East London multi-disciplinary artist and maker - both of who feature in the film.

Sheep, Actually is a film about wool and a sheep named Cow.

It started with the first photo filmmaker Paul Wyatt ever took: a blurred sheep’s nose on a school trip when he was just nine. This lifelong love of animals and a deep-seated curiosity to understand their lives drove Wyatt to make Sheep, Actually.

The film follows Wyatt as he uncovers London’s best-kept secret: sheep living in the capital, the crafters who work with their wool, and a city-dwelling sheep named Cow. At times serious, at others playful, Wyatt’s film is a surprising exploration of where animals, people, and making meet.

This is the film’s first time in London in a year, following a tour around the country, and a welcome home as it includes a brief appearance by the Woolwich Works stitch night!
