Join dye expert Jenny Mercer for a day discovering the world of natural dyeing using winter plants we find all around us, including barks and foraged materials. This hands-on workshop takes you through the full process—from exploring seasonal dye plants and seeds, to extraction and dyeing – as well exploring some of the fascinating history of natural dyeing traditions along the way.
Although we will discuss dyeing a range of fabrics, we will especially concentrate on the material of cotton, and other cellulose fibres. At the end of the course you will take home a pair of cotton socks that you have dyed yourself using a range of beautiful, natural colours extracted during the workshop. Plus you’ll leave equipped with the skills, knowledge, and inspiration to carry on your dyeing journey—and a deeper appreciation for this ancient art.
As with all our courses it will be a fun, relaxing crafting day learning from an expert in their field.
It's being held at the Sussex Garden School Studio - a light, spacious creative space set within the grounds of Old Barn Nursery.
Come and join us!
