Description
Angela will welcome you into her studio with all the dye pans full of colour. You will learn all about getting colour from nature using roots, berries, leaves, flowers and invertebrates. This technique of colouring fabrics dates as far back as records began, today it can offer an eco-friendly way of playing with colour. Throughout the day you will use different applications to get the colour into fabrics and threads including wrapping and steaming, boiling, using a slow cooker and creating a jam jar which you will take home to solar dye. Angela will share with you her extensive knowledge of dyeing naturally and you will go home full of inspiration and excited to start your own dyeing adventure.
The workshop starts at 10:00am and finishes at 4:00pm.
