Natural Dyes Class

What you'll do
This Natural Eco Dyeing workshop will help you discover a living and sustainable colour palette with natural dyes. You will never look at your garden or kitchen in the same way!
Join this workshop of natural eco dyeing to learn the basics of natural dyeing methods, easy mordants, and how you can set this up at home to keep exploring this art form.
You will explore a variety of natural hand dyeing and colour application techniques in this Eco Dyeing workshop, and you will create your own fabulous effects on wool, silk and cotton using natural methods and materials.
Learn to make beautiful dyes with foraged plants, household food waste and by-products from an organic farm. Many everyday waste products create rich, gorgeous colours: avocado stones produce dusky pink, onion skins create bronze and carrot tops make a minty green (just a few examples!). You will take home skills that will last a lifetime.
Course content:
- Use seasonal and native plants, fruits, vegetables and materials from home for natural dye projects
- Learn basic techniques: hot water extraction, steam bundle dying/ eco printing, solar dyeing and direct application methods
- Learn how different types of fibres (wool, silk and cotton) react to natural dyes
- Understand the basic principles of mordants
- Pots and equipment you need to do natural dying at home
- How to make a natural dye journal or "sampler."
Please note: This class requires a minimum number of students to run. In the unlikely event that we don't get this number of students, we'll cancel the class; in this case, we'll inform and fully refund you, so please watch your email/SMS one day prior to the class.

Katrina Moore • Oct 2020
The teacher was extremely enthusiastic and extremely interested in what the students had to bring to the class in terms of ideas and original interpretations
The teacher also sought to share all the knowledge that she had acquired whether it was the stores that she went to to purchase materials or the kinds of leaves and ecological principles she drew on to dye her materials.
I would like to thank her for everything my only small advice would be to schedule the lunch break strictly at 12:30 because I became a little bit hungry after a few hours. Having a break to eat some nourishing food early is probably a good idea.
I would recommend this class to people.
