Naturally Dyed Workshops

  

Explore the art of natural dyeing using locally sourced plant materials in this eco-friendly experimental workshop. In this workshop, we will share knowledge and investigate

·       Which fabrics dye well and why

·       How to get dye from natural sources

·       How to mordant (fix) the dye to the fabric.

Most importantly you will gain the knowledge to continue experimenting at home.
