  • A Day of Natural Dyeing with Plants

    Delving into the world of natural dyeing is a slow, deep connection with the wonderful world of plants.

    Coaxing the colour out of plant materials is an alchemical practice with endless potential.

    On this course you will learn:

    -The practical skills needed to dye with plants

    -The importance of mordants and modifiers to affect dye colour

    -Create your own unique set of naturally dyed sample skeins
