Natural Dyeing and Eco Printing Workshop

Cosy up this winter at Rathborne Lodge and discover the beauty of natural colour through plants
In this hands-on, artist-led workshop, you’ll be introduced to the ancient and creative practice of botanical dyeing. Using plant materials gathered from the Botanic Gardens of Sydney, you’ll create your own naturally dyed and eco-printed silk scarf, a one-of-a-kind piece inspired by the colours and textures of the season.
During the workshop, you’ll:
✨ Learn about common plants that produce natural dyes
✨ Discover the basics of preparing fibres for dyeing
✨ Explore simple, creative techniques you can continue at home
✨ Create a unique, wearable artwork to take home
This workshop is perfect for beginners and anyone curious about slow craft, sustainability, and working creatively with nature
Part of our seasonal winter program, inspired by the Garden and its diverse living collection from around the world.
