About your tutor:
Claudia is a natural dyer and retired teacher who has been professionally dyeing yarns for Elka Textiles for many years. She has a keen interest in the science of natural dyeing, as well as delighting in the colours that emerge from the dye pot.
Extending this understanding of the colours to be found in nature, to the world of inks and paints, has been an exciting process and one that she’s keen to share with anyone fascinated by the possibilities of natural colour.
