Join this bundle dyeing workshop in London, a fun and beginner-friendly environment where children and families will each create a cotton bandana using flowers, leaves, seeds, and other botanicals. You'll learn the art of bundle dyeing in an atmosphere designed to be gentle, safe and enjoyable for all levels of experience.
During the workshop, you'll be guided on how to select natural materials and explore different techniques to create unique and unexpected patterns. Working with vibrant dyes and eco-friendly materials, you'll see stunning results as you engage in a process that's both soothing and meditative. It's a lovely way to unwind and enjoy some quality time together while getting hands-on with nature.
In this class, you'll:
  • Select your botanicals – Choose from a variety of flowers, leaves, and seeds to create your palette.
  • Master bundle dyeing – Learn the specific techniques required to transfer natural pigments onto fabric.
  • Create your patterns – Explore how to fold and tie your bandana for different visual effects.
By the end of the session, you'll have gained a wonderful new skill and a bespoke bandana imbued with your personal touch. You'll leave with a beautiful, wearable memory that serves as a heartfelt keepsake of your day together.

What you'll get
You will go home with a naturally hand-dyed (by you) and hand-sewn cotton bandana, 40cm by 40cm, plus a lot of tips and tricks on bundle dyeing. :)
Knowledge required
No previous knowledge is required! Just come with curiosity and playfulness :)
What to bring
Materials will be provided, but you are welcome to bring some fresh or dried leaves and flowers from your local park or garden to bundle dye with. I would recommend French marigolds, cosmos, dark roses, sumac flowers, geraniums, or pansies. Onion skins are also a great option, and no worries, your end result scarf won’t be smelly, I promise!
Please bring a small plastic bag to take your bandana home.

I am a visual artist and arts educator working with colour, textiles, minerals, clay, seeds, flowers and pigments that I carefully gather from plants around me and nearby.
I specialise in sustainable wellbeing workshops and creative mindful sessions for community groups, CPD and staff training for small companies and institutions.
I have been working with natural dyes since 2019 and have an extensive experience planning and delivering creative and engaging sustainable workshops for people of all ages and many backgrounds.
I see these experiences as tools for learning but also for grounding and reflection that aim to connect with ourselves and with others in a supportive, non judgemental safe space. Interested in mental health and wellbeing, I nurture environments where people can reach a deeper level of understanding of their feelings and emotions, allowing time for play and exploration with a focus on the process of making and collective learning.
