A new and exciting 3 day workshop dedicated to slow making and the importance of hand processing natural materials. Suitable for crafters, makers and imagineers of all levels of experience.
With a focus of dyes and wild fibres this is a unique chance to explore part of the ancient water meadow system of Bury St Edmunds; 14 acres of wet woodland and meadow under private ownership and not open to the public.
The joy of processing materials from start to finish is an often unappreciated one, and rarely do people realize what goes into a few metres of yarn or cordage. This workshop is planned so that you can settle into a gentle and unhurried pace, allowing you to soak in the atmosphere of the water meadows and find your own natural rhythm.
There are a variety of activities and processes that you can take part in but if you find your groove and want to keep doing something in particular then it’s totally fine to let your focus and attention stay there; spending as much time as you’d like. Experimentation is positively encouraged, inspired tangents welcome!
Refreshments and all materials are included but please bring a packed lunch each day. £175 per person.
