But&nbsp;<a href="https://chelseagreen.co.uk/cg-author/alice-v-robinson/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Alice Robinson</a>&nbsp;is not what you might imagine.&nbsp;</p><br><p>She’s only just left the Royal College of Art, but her work has already been featured in the V&amp;A ‘s Food: Bigger than the Plate exhibition. Her first book&nbsp;<em>Field, Fork, Fashion</em>&nbsp;has had her on&nbsp;<a href="https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m0024l34" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Radio’s 4’s&nbsp;<em>Start the Week</em></a>&nbsp;to discuss our connection with the countryside - with James Rebanks among the other guests.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p><br><p>She is an extraordinary advocate of our connection with the land and prods us to think in a whole new way about the provenance of leather. Gilly finds out what the Fork in the title means to her story.&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp;</p><p>Check out Gilly's Substack for Extra Bites of Alice and Bullock 374 – and Sheep 11458 - and click here for more about&nbsp;<a href="https://www.britishpastureleather.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">British Pasture Leather</a>.&nbsp;</p><br /><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.
