In this full-day workshop, you will learn about how to successful eco dye on protein fibres (silk). We will go for a short walk around the studio to collect some plant material, which we will then use to create our eco bundles. Let’s get wild!

Included in the workshop fee are silk fabrics to explore and experiment with and one silk scarf to eco dye and a handout with mordant recipes, dye plants, tips, sources etc.

Tools and materials for the workshop are provided; a ‘what to bring list’ will be sent out closer to the workshop.
