Eucalyptus Botanical Dye Workshop

In this workshop, Jessica shares her love of eucalyptus and the wonder of experimenting with plants in textile design. You will learn some basic techniques for dyeing with eucalyptus and native plants.

The rich oils of eucalyptus (also known for their healing properties) alchemise with metals and silk fibre, creating unpredictable pattern and indelible mark-making.

You will receive a small silk scarf which you will decorate with a wide range of eucalyptus plants. You will then bind the scarf and plant matter together to produce a dye bundle.

This will be processed through heat in a pot of eucalyptus dye after the workshop, and returned to you by mail.
