Connect with nature in the mindful process of natural dyeing, using locally sourced natural materials to create your own unique fabrics.
Ticket price: £40
Immerse yourself in the world of natural dyeing in this afternoon workshop. We will explore the dyeing process using a variety of locally sourced natural materials, such as roots, berries, flowers, bark and leaves.
Local artisans Kate and Carol Anne will guide you step by step in the process of natural dyeing where you will learn to confidently dye different materials with long lasting effects.
Suitable for beginners. Class sizes are kept small making sure that everyone gets attention and assistance when needed.
You will leave feeling inspired to grow, forage and dye your own fabrics at home and with the confidence develop your skills.
You will learn how to:
• prepare your fabrics for dyeing
• process homegrown, foraged plants and even kitchen leftovers for dyeing
• dye fabric and clothes
• experiment with colour and pattern and prepare the dye plants
We will provide:
• all raw materials and tools required for hand dyeing
• plenty of scrap fabric for testing
• guided instruction step-by-step from Kate & Carol
• organic, Fairtrade hot drinks and palm oil-free biscuits
What to bring
• An apron or old clothing you don't mind getting messy.
• Some natural fibre fabric or clothing that you would like to dye if you have some.
