We will begin our time together by taking a walk down to a local spot to forage the mushrooms we will be using in this workshop.
I'll teach you how to identify, pick, process, and use them for dyeing.
We will explore two different methods for extracting dye and also ways of shifting colour from the same dye batch.
You will be gifted a tiny hand-woven basket to dip on the day and get to take home a small jar of dye to experiment further with at home.
We will first meet at my studio, then I will lead you all to the magic.
In the event there are no mushrooms (rare, as I have been watching them grow at this spot for a while now), I will have some on hand for us to prepare and dye with.
It is, however, weather-dependent too.
What you'll get
A tiny basket and a small batch of dye.
Knowledge required
No experience necessary.
What to bring
All materials provided.

My creative practice is deeply rooted in my belief that nature nurtures. A plant fiber enthusiast, I weave baskets out of organic material I forage for and process myself.
I was born and raised in Melbourne, with Greek heritage and generations of women who love to craft with their hands. I have spent the past 4 years living in my campervan learning how to weave with mine.
I'm mostly self-taught. I spend a lot of time outside observing: the plants, the seasons, their growth, the cycles. Experimenting and creating straight from the source with what the earth provides. I create pieces that reflect my skill and adoration for the natural world.
My joy is not in selling what I make -- but teaching and sharing knowledge, with an aim to make you feel something magic when you attend a workshop. To experience a lingering feeling of awe.
Passionate about the peace the plants can provide - my practice is centered around healing yourself through art and moving your mind through your hands.
