Natural Printing Workshop - Steam Dyeing a Long Silk Scarf

New - Natural Printing Workshop - Steam Dyeing a Long Silk Scarf

Join us for a fun and creative day at the Natural Printing Workshop! Learn the ancient art of natural dyeing and create your own beautiful long silk scarf using plant materials. This hands-on workshop will be held at the Manchester Craft and Design Centre, located on Oak Street in Manchester, UK.

Info: Enjoy a brief introduction to the designer's journey into this craft while sipping a glass of fizz.

Info: During the session, you will learn how to dye a 25 x 150 cm long silk scarf using the Bundle Dyeing technique. This natural steam process draws out and fixes colours from pressed flowers and leaves, creating clear botanical shapes on the fabric.

Info: While the scarves are steaming, we will explore Tatakizome, or flower pounding. This ancient Japanese technique involves hammering plants to create intricate prints on greeting cards.

Info: Bundle dyeing is a wonderfully unpredictable process. The highlight of the workshop is the "Big Reveal," where you will unwrap your bundles to discover your unique botanical prints.
