Have you met Skalli yet?

Half fish, half human, fully Mersey.

Skalli is a seated sculpture playing with River Mersey maritime folklore and local slang, exploring that strange space where urban myth, place and public art start to blur together.

Created by Wirral artist Patric Rogers Patch, Skalli was the winner of the 2026 Liverpool Sculpture Prize.

And on 24.09.26, Skalli story is coming to Nettle.

SKALLI: Notes Upon an Estuary Entity

An evening of folkloric chat, readings, conversation and stories from the Mersey and its shores, alongside the launch of Patric’s lovely new book.

There’ll be books. Original artwork. Idols. Stories.

And, apparently, a few Skallis knocking around the place ;)

One year of Tom. ❤️

A whole year of keeping the wheels turning, fixing problems before most of us notice them, and caring deeply about this place and the people in it.
Nettle genuinely wouldn’t be the same without him.

A genuine hero of the dojo.

This footage is a little behind-the-scenes glimpse from our upcoming documentary, filmed by .films . We’re so excited to share a sneak peek into our world.

The waitlist is now live if you’d like to be one of the first to watch it.

Big, big love to Tom!!

WE WON! Judges choice!

Thousands of entries. One very surprised Nettle team.

We somehow came home with the Judges’ Choice Award at the UK StartUp Awards North West.

A huge thank you to the judges, our team, customers, workshop hosts, suppliers, mentors and everyone who’s supported us. 💚

We had a brilliant night, finally connected with 💚, and left feeling even more excited about what’s next.

The win takes us through to the UK StartUp Awards National Final at this September.

One wrong turn after a shift at Nettle and somehow we ended up stumbling into Mockbeggar Morris crew by the Refreshment rooms in rockferry.

There’s something really special about people keeping traditions alive simply because they love them.

Safe to say we left with a lot of smiles, and talk of them coming to Nettle in the future.
