Natural Dyeing Workshop for Protein Fibres

Spend a full day learning the art of natural dyeing at this plant-based dye workshop in Cardiff – a hands-on, beginner-friendly session designed to give you the skills and confidence to carry on experimenting at home.

Working with wool, silk, alpaca, and other protein fibres, you'll discover how to prepare your materials, use mordants to fix colour, and work with professional natural dyes to achieve a range of beautiful shades and tones. Along the way, you'll build a real understanding of how different fibres interact with plant dyes – the kind of knowledge that makes every future project feel more intentional.

All materials are provided, and with a maximum of eight students per session, there's plenty of space for hands-on guidance throughout the day. Whether you're a knitter or textile artist looking to add a new technique to your practice, or simply someone drawn to the idea of sustainable, plant-based making, you'll feel right at home.

You'll leave with your own dyed samples, a set of transferable skills, and more than enough inspiration to set up your own natural dye practice.
