Natural Dyeing

Tutors; Tina Clark and Tracey Crook

Dyeing using plants from your garden and other natural sources. Learn how to fix and change the colours you achieve, and produce samples for future reference. Bring small skeins of wool or alpaca to dye, or use the fleece supplied.

There will also be opportunity to try felting, with
Tina Clark while the fibres stew!

Lots of lovely felt and yarns!

We stewed up onion skins, logwood, nettles, blackberries and cool tubs of madder root and indigo.

While our brews cooked, we felted little bags and purses
