What you'll do
In this Sydney workshop, your teacher, Samorn, will introduce you to natural dyes. You will learn traditional dyeing methods used by weavers and textile artisans of Laos, and also about local Australian native plants, berries and flowers. Their dyeing properties, how we extract the colour, methods used to obtain different shades of pigments, how to keep and store dyes for use out of season and the best dyes for different natural fibres. Finally, you'll learn the traditional techniques we use to set our dyes. This is a hands-on workshop where we will explore a variety of natural hand dyeing and colour application techniques. You'll create your own fabulous colours on natural fabrics using natural methods and materials. This course is open to students 13 and older. Among The Trees accepts students under 18 in two groups:
- Students 13-15 years of age must attend all courses with a parent or guardian. This parent or guardian must also purchase a place in the course and take part. One parent/guardian is able to attend with multiple students.
- Students 16-17 years of age may attend a course without a parent or guardian present.

Your teacher
Among the Trees is an ethical and sustainability based start-up for reclaimed timber located in Marrickville. Saving timber from demolitions or other discarded uses and making it available to the public through a retail timber shop and woodworking classes. Accessibility to wood doesn't just mean being wheelchair friendly (which we are), it also means helping customers understand how to use and source reclaimed timber. To make it as easy as possible to work with, we offer custom machining and glueing, so the timber in our store can be squared, resurfaced and cut to specific dimensions. We also help empower individuals to have the confidence to undertake woodworking projects by offering woodworking beginners classes that are taught with simple hand tools.  Lumberyards and wood workshops can be intimidating sometimes, ATT is one of the few places that caters not only to architects, planners, homeowners as well as carpenters and tradespeople but also to customers that have little to no woodworking experience and are embarking on DIY and student projects or trying their hand at repair, renovating or building. Our workshop at Among The Trees is set up to be the perfect space to learn about hand tools, reclaimed timber, and woodworking. We’ve been hard at work collecting, restoring and tuning all the tools required to learn woodworking, and a few extra ones as well. All-in-all, everyone that is interested in wood is welcome!
