In this one-day workshop, you will be introduced to the world of natural dyes and learn how we can create many beautiful colours from different plants and food waste found around us. You will be shown how a dye bath is made, and together we will dye a selection of silk and wool fibres that you can take home with you to use in future creative projects.
Sophie will also share some of her own creative process in embroidery and drawing with inks to inspire you, and there will be an opportunity to have a play with some pre-dyed yarn and natural inks in the session.
You will come away with an understanding of natural dye methods, your own selection of naturally dyed mini skeins suitable for embroidery, crochet or knitting, as well as a sample experiment created by you alongside Sophie and the group.
This beginner-friendly class is aimed at encouraging you to be inspired to create freely.

New Brewery Arts is Cirencester’s creative heart — a vibrant cultural charity housed in the historic buildings of the former Cirencester Brewery.
After the brewery’s closure in 1937, the site fell into disuse and was nearly lost to demolition. Thanks to a visionary local group, two of the remaining buildings were restored and transformed into craft workshops, opening as Cirencester Workshops in 1978.
Its mission is to champion craft — making it, learning it, and supporting the people who do it. Its courses, workshops, makers’ studios, 100% UK-made craft shop, and café all contribute to a vibrant creative hub at the heart of Cirencester.
