Natural Dyeing Workshop

Learn natural dyeing in Sydney!



4 hours

Class size 1 to 10 (public classes), 5 to 30
  $150 (Afterpay available)

In our Natural Dyeing for Beginners workshop, we will discover the magic of plant colour through a focus on eco printing with elements from nature. Eco-printing is the practice of arranging organic materials on fabric, rolling it up and steaming it.
You will learn the art of dyeing fabrics with organic materials, from vibrant weld yellows to deep gardenia blues and soft avocado pinks. By the end of the class, you'll have created your very own eco-printed piece to take home with you!
No need to worry if you're new to natural dyeing, you will be guided every step of the way, in a friendly and relaxed environment. You'll work with sustainably sourced fabrics and a variety of natural dyes, including local eucalyptus leaves and food waste.
The class will cover;
  • choosing the right fabrics,
  • how to prepare fabrics to take dye,
  • how to make a dye bath at home,
  • eco printing/bundle dyeing our final pieces.
There will be a break for lunch, and while some snacks will be provided, it is encouraged to bring your own lunch.
The workshop will not only fill you with inspiration but also provide you with a newfound skill to continue exploring at home!

Recent reviews of Natural Dyeing Workshop

  • 5/5 from Alice Tauv, attended Sep 2026: I had a wonderful time at Isabella's natural dye class! We used plant-based dyes like turmeric, onion skins and avocado pits to create our own designs, learning folding and binding techniques along the way. Isabella was a patient, knowledgeable host who made even complete beginners feel confident. The atmosphere was relaxed and creative, with plenty of laughs. My favourite moment was unwrapping our pieces to reveal the patterns, and it was amazing to see kitchen scraps turn into such beautiful colours. I'd highly recommend it and would love to come back!
  • 5/5 from Natalia Diaz Velazco, attended Sep 2026: I'd never done natural dyeing before and I was surprised by how interesting it is. We worked with a whole range of natural dyes like madder, weld, safflower, avocado and eucalyptus, and it was amazing to see how many different colours came out of them. I learned a ton and left wanting to keep exploring. It was also great meeting other people who are into creative and artistic things. Isabella knows so much about the topic and explains it in a simple way, and she even sent us a list of resources afterwards to keep learning, so it's really enjoyable even as a beginner. If it catches your eye, sign up, you won't regret it.
  • 5/5 from B Star, attended Sep 2026: I've been dying to try natural dyeing for a while, and this workshop truly delivered! Bella's passion for her craft made the class both super fun and incredibly informative. Getting to see her graduate pieces, her experiments and process diaries was a real highlight. She created a relaxed, welcoming space to play and explore the magic of plant dyes. I left feeling thrilled with the pieces I made and inspired to keep experimenting.
  • 5/5 from Marie Diez, attended Sep 2026: With some girlies we had the chance to get the last spot left for the workshop and I'm glad we did because that was a great moment! We learnt, laughed and enjoyed it a lot - I highly recommend it if you like learning by doing and want to bring home some cute creations you'll be proud of! Isabella thought about everything! - we had more than enough materials, samples and ideas! The location was also really convenient, close to the train station with parking nearby and in a cute park A workshop perfect to do or gift!

I'm Isabella, a knitter, textile artist and fashion designer working with natural materials to create timeless pieces from discarded fabrics. I aim to make pieces people will own and love for years by transforming waste products with traditional, slow techniques such as natural dyeing, hand sewing, embroidery, hand and machine knitting, and visible mending.
I have been knitting and dyeing for more than 10 years, but the last few years I have been especially interested in natural dyeing and the processes required. I love the deliberate nature of these techniques, they force us to slow down and be intentional in our actions.
In my workshops you will learn techniques to allow you to create something completely on your own in class, and take the skills you've learned home with you so that you can repeat and refine your process in your own time. The classes are paced gently, with time to experiment and focus without rushing.
I hope to see you at the next workshop!
