Corin Sworn and Luke Fowler  began a collaborative residency with Alchemy Film & Arts in 2024, investigating and responding to High Sunderland, the Scottish Borders modernist home of textile designers Bernat and Margaret Klein, designed in 1957 by architect Peter Womersley.

Deploying 16mm, analogue photography, sound archiving and creative writing, On Weaving considers High Sunderland from a multitude of perspectives, as a cinematic framing device, a structure and organism through which to understand dynamic processes of change.

The film encompasses the familial and the seasonal, as well as the textile designs of twentieth-century Eastern European émigrés, amelioration and conservation, macro and micro expressions of climate and landscape, and the broader historical legacies of the Kleins and the Scottish Borders’ textiles heritage.
