Join us for a fun and hands-on 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.
During this 3hr workshop, 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, & extract dyes. 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.
Tickets are £50 per place with a glass of fizz !
