What you'll do
Join us and the incredible designer and natural dye alchemist Tamara Leacock of REMUSE Design for a richly immersive afternoon exploring the craft and consciousness of sustainable plant-based dyeing. In this 3.5-hour masterclass, you will be guided through traditional and experimental dye methods using botanicals and mineral mordants. Learn how to prepare fabrics, bind and resist with shibori, and coax deep, shifting tones from ingredients like logwood and indigo. Designed for adult learners, fans of sustainability and curious makers, this session invites you to slow down, tune in, and get your hands into the process. Whether you are just starting out or looking to deepen your practise, this class offers practical skills and poetic tools for sustainable making. You will each work with a custom undyed REMUSE scarf and may also bring any natural fibre garment of your own to dye, as well as a great deal of materials to continue your dyeing journey at home. Tamara will also share selected garments from her latest REMUSE collection. These pieces act as living swatches and storytelling tools, with the option to browse or purchase any that sing out to you on the day, with exclusive discounts for workshop participants.
What you'll get
- 3.5 hours of expert guidance from Tamara - One REMUSE undyed scarf to dye and take home and a dyed garment of your own - All dyes, materials, tools, and protective gear - An intimate group experience in a warm, collaborative studio space - Exhibition of REMUSE garments available for viewing and purchase

- 5/5 from Rachael Bor, attended Oct 2025: This was a great workshop! I have zero experience in natural dyeing but was keen to learn about how I can use this practise at home to upcycled old clothing. Tamara was extremely knowledgeable and shared her wisdom in relaxed and fun way. While we brought our own garment, having the extra scrap material available meant that we were able to experiment and trial different dyes and techniques without worry about getting it right.
