Up-cycling with Nature: Natural Dyeing from the Colour Garden

Discover the magic of natural colour at our Roots to Renewal Workshop at Doncaster Gallery, Library and Museum!

We’re excited to share that we’ve secured additional funding from the Well Doncaster Cultural Connections grant to run an extra natural dyeing workshop as part of Roots to Renewal! Due to high demand and fully booked sessions, this new workshop will give more people the chance to explore the incredible colours and textures we can create using plants grown right in Doncaster’s own Colour and Tea Garden.

Join Bex from Plantaura and Estelle from Fashion Fusion for a hands-on, creative morning in the Paddington Room.

During this free, funded workshop, you’ll explore the vibrant world of natural dyes using plants grown in DGLAM’s newly created Colour and Tea Garden. Learn accessible techniques like bundle dyeing to create unique textures and patterns, all while upcycling clothing and textiles. Whether you’re new to natural dyeing or looking to expand your skills, this workshop is a perfect opportunity to experiment, connect, and make something beautiful and sustainable.

As part of this workshop, you’ll have the chance to create textiles that could be featured in our upcoming community fashion show. Whether you’d like your piece displayed or you’re excited to walk the catwalk and showcase your creation yourself, we welcome everyone to take part and celebrate sustainable fashion together

We have one additional available session

Monday 3rd November 2-5pm

Spaces are limited, so book your free place and be part of a creative movement that’s making a difference in Doncaster and beyond. We can’t wait to see what you’ll create!
