Ignite an interest in natural dying with silk and wool!

In this playful workshop you will begin by filling a sketchbook of ideas, hints and tips to start your natural dye journey. Olivia seeks to rekindle the knowledge of this forgotten craft; allowing us to live more connectedly with nature, in the way our ancestors knew to be best. You will explore and experiment with different plants and their colour potentials and learn how materials like silk and wool respond to the processes. All materials are provided.
