This 2-day workshop will allow you to immerse into the world of natural dyes and embroidery.
The first part of this workshop will introduce you to the world of natural dyes and its creative possibilities. You’ll learn about sourcing dye plants, preparing materials and the method of making a dye bath.
In your group, you will dye a selection of mini skeins as well as some fabric that will be yours to use. Sophie will also show you how you can use a dye bath to then make your own drawing inks. In the second part of this workshop Sophie will share some of her own creative process exploring drawing with textiles and natural dyes.
Together with Sophie, you will undertake a handful of creative exercises that will explore ways of mark making with your dyed materials. These exercises are aimed to help you slow down and tap into a sense of mindfulness. They will allow you the time and space to feel creatively inspired to create some beautiful hand embroidery pieces.
