I had a lovely time with Debbie. I’ve learnt the whole basics of natural dyeing. We’ve made lots of colour swatches and I now have a little colour library which is perfect to start my textile project.
Very interesting. I strongly recommend Debbie!

I had a lovely time at the workshop, learning about the different methods and materials involved. Debbie is a great teacher, and very patient. I recommend the workshop, and would do it again.

I enjoyed the in-depth Eco Printing class. Debbie was great! she explained clearly each process on the different techniques. I took away new knowledge which I will be using. Debbie is a wonderful teacher.

Debbie was extremely knowledgeable and the class was really well paced. In 2 hours we had a chance to try out 4 different experimental pieces using different techniques as well as complete 1 big design (in my case a cushion cover). Loads of tips about how to take our dying further which were adapted to our individual circumstances. Great value for money. The studio is also in a lovely location.

We had a fantastic time at the eco printing workshop. Debbie is so knowledgeable and we learnt a lot. There was a last minute change of venue due to bad weather and this was communicated well. Thank you Debbie and the team! We absolutely recommend!

Honestly a wonderful must-do class. I went with my Mum and we had such a lovely day out learning so many different techniques that I'll definitely be using in the future. Debbie was fantastic and the class had so many fun elements - like going foraging for our own materials. Couldn't recommend enough. We even got to take our final projects home!

A really great class, led by knowledgable and lovely Debbie.
It was fun, learnt about suitable plants to use in printing, and different methods and techniques for making pieces.
Resources were provided and really well organised. It was a nice small intimate class.

We had such a wonderful time with our teacher Debbie, she was so warm and friendly and taught effortlessly.
We really enjoyed the course, and came away feeling inspired to put our new found skills into practice at home.
Would highly recommend!

My class with Debbie was really great experience I would call it magical too:) I learned a lot about natural dying techniques, made samples and written recipes for future experiments. I would come again to learn more. Thank you for fun, friendly and unique experience

Lovely classroom setting, with a brilliantly knowledgeable teacher (and some excellent cake). The session was well planned and we all made some beautiful eco-prints on fabric. Really enjoyed the class.
