Botanical dyed Silk Scarf Workshop

Botanical dyed Silk Scarf Workshop

Join us for a fun and creative day at the Botanical dyed Silk Scarf Workshop! Learn the ancient art of natural dyeing and create your own beautiful silk scarf using botanical materials. This hands-on workshop will be held at the Manchester Craft and Design Centre, located on Oak Street in Manchester, UK.

Info: A brief introduction about the Designer and their journey to Botanical dyeing, while enjoying a glass of fizz.

Info:
Guests learn how to dye their own square 60cm x 60cm silk scarf by Bundle Dyeing. This is a natural dyeing method which creates botanical prints from flowers, petals, leaves and extract dyes.

Info: The Bundles will be steamed, to draw out and fix the colour. While this takes place guests will learn another process of printing onto a gift card, by Flower pounding, or Tatakizome, which is an ancient Japanese technique of hammering plants to create a print.

Info: The most exciting stage. Guests will unwrap their bundles and plant materials to discover their print. Bundle dyeing is completely unpredictable, which is where the beauty lies.
