Spend a very full and productive day with me in my working dye studio. We will be covering all the basics for an introduction into a successful dye practice.

• Scouring
• Mordanting
• Dye vats x 3
• Bundle dyeing
• Creating a dye garden
• Discussion on suppliers and equipment.

Provided

• 1 metre of khadi for samples
• 1 x 2.5 metre of handloomed net to make a scarf - coloured in vat or bundle dyed
• All mordants, dyes and flowers
• notes

Summer is very productive in the dye garden and mine is in full bloom so a wonderful opportunity to see how you can create your own productive dye garden within a very small space.

Please feel free to bring along a small natural fibre item you would like to dye - no more than 500grams in weight please, clothing, fabric, baby clothes.

We will start the day right on 9am as we will have a LOT to get through.

A bowl of veggie soup provided for lunch.

$250 for the day.

The most wonderful thing a bout this workshop is there will only be 4 places available. A chance to connect and explore with a small focused group with time to be a little spontaneous.
