Recent reviews of Introduction to Natural Dyeing Workshop
- 5/5 from Sarah Burrows, attended Mar 2026: This was such a fun class! It was really well paced, packed with information and inspiration and I would love to take more classes with Vicki and Lorna in the future. Thanks so much for a really fabulous experience
- 5/5 from Miss S E A Hartle, attended Mar 2026: Really enjoyed this session. Vicky and Lorna are obviously passionate about what they do. We did red onion skins (which came out olive green) and madder (red) using folding techniques to give stunning results. I recommend this as an introduction to the world of natural dyeing
- 5/5 from Jenny Mayoll, attended Nov 2025: Vicky and Lorna are knowledgable, friendly and so passionate about natural dyeing! They did fantastic demonstrations, shared all their knowledge and made it fun at the same time. This is my third time having them come in to do the workshop with Year 12 students and I would thoroughly recommend them!
- 5/5 from Jo, attended Jul 2025: A really fun morning. Plenty of information shared to equip you for dyeing on your own at home. Loved it!
- 5/5 from Jacqueline Ward, attended Jun 2025: An amazing class with very knowledgeable presenters, very hands on. An excellent way to delve into the magical world of natural dying.
Your teacher
After working together teaching natural textiles to young people not in education, Vicky and Lorna fell in love with the world of natural dyeing. They have since continued their teaching; through mobile workshops across the Milton Keynes and Northampton areas, offering creative, hands-on sessions for schools, community groups and corporate settings.About VickyVicky has been working with young people for over 20 years, first as a geography teacher and more recently in alternative education. She has a passion for the outdoors and grows flowers for drying and natural dyeing. Foraging with her Greek rescue dogs, Dimi and Lola, is one of her favourite pastimes, and she often explores the fields around Hanslope with her three children.About LornaWith a BA in Embroidered Textiles and an MA in Fashion, Lorna has always been passionate about making. She enjoys embroidery, dressmaking, textile art and natural dyeing, often experimenting with plants, food waste and seasonal finds to create colour and texture. When she isn’t making, she can often be found running, practising Pilates, or exploring the outdoors with her family. A love of craft, nature and mindful making are at the heart of everything she does, and she enjoys encouraging others to slow down, try new skills and discover the joy of creating.
