In our natural dyeing workshop, discover the magic of creating beautiful colours using elements from nature. You will learn the art of dyeing fabrics with organic materials, from vibrant weld yellows to calming avocado pinks. By the end of the class, you'll have created your very own hand-dyed piece to take home with you, as well as a swatch book you can continue to add to on your dye journey.
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 how to prepare fabrics to take dye, how to make a dye bath from a variety of ingredients, and 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!

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!
