one space available due to cancellation

Before the advent of chemical dyes, all colour came from natural sources. Today natural dyes are enjoying a renaissance as people rediscover how to create these vibrant shades in a sustainable way.   In this exclusive one day workshop I will share my knowledge and skills with you and show you how to use safe, non toxic materials and methods to get beautiful colour from plant sources, many of which can be found growing locally.

We will work with fabrics and yarn to create a collection of beautiful colours to use in your future textiles projects.

Learn how to work prepare different types of fibre for natural dyeing
create dye baths from fresh and dried plant material
develop strong, long-lasting plant dyed colours in a range of shades
work with different natural ‘assistants’ to create varied tones and depth of colour

Workshop fee £105* includes all materials, refreshments and a delicious lunch made from local ingredients.

The workshop will be held outdoors with large undercover alternative spaces (to allow safe social distancing) available in case of inclement weather.

Limited places available for this special day.
