Spend a day with local craftswoman Fay Jones in this wonderful ancient woodland learning about dyeing with our native trees.Celebrate autumn by exploring the wonderful range of subtle warm and earthy hues that can be achieved by dyeing with tree barks. Discover the colours hidden away inside the trees of Bradfield woods and use them to dye some test skeins and samplers to take home with you. Enjoy the surrounding of these ancient woods and relax with some simple braiding techniques or tree twine making while the dye pots are simmering.
Suitable for complete beginners.
Fay first learnt about dyeing when she was a Tudor re-enactor at Kentwell Hall. She has built up an eclectic knowledge of native dye plants and their identification.
