An 'inspirational' film about one of Scotland's 'most extraordinary' homes and the man who built it is to be screened in Hexham.

Living Woods, a Hexham-based organisation, has arranged the screening of 'Magician with Wood' at the Forum Cinema.

The film will be shown after the Living Woods annual conference on November 28.

It was created by Beatrix Wood of Trix Pix and tells the story of 'The Steading', the home built by late wood sculptor and furniture designer Tim Stead in the Scottish Borders.

The documentary captures the fight to preserve 'The Steading', a Grade A-listed, award-winning 'work of art', and Stead's legacy.

Mr Stead's wife, Maggy, is fighting to protect her husband's 'legacy' while inspiring future generations to create with wood.

The film conveys how Mr Stead's belief in giving back to the environment led to the creation of the first community woodland in Britain, kickstarting a movement of community land ownership in Scotland and internationally.

The film also features his 'eloquent' poems.

Mr Stead's furniture, renowned for its 'warm honesty', was created for galleries, castles, cathedrals, and Pope John Paul II for his 1981 visit to Murrayfield.

His three most 'powerful' pieces include the rood screen and furniture for the North Sea Oil Industries Memorial Chapel in Aberdeen, commissioned in 1989.

The film touches upon family, the 'bonds' of love and grief, loyalty and friendship, collaboration and community, and our relationship with nature in the face of climate change.

Mark Shipperlee, Living Woods director said: "We’re very grateful to the Forum Cinema for this opportunity, and we encourage all our supporters to come along and see this inspirational film."

Filmmaker Beatrix Wood will be present for an in-person Q&A session after the film.
