Recent reviews of Itajime Shibori with Botanical Dyes Workshop
- 5/5 from Brianne Lam, attended Aug 2026: we all love the event
- 5/5 from Madeline Adeane, attended Jan 2026: This was such an interesting and illuminating class, skilfully facilitated by Renata. We were in very safe hands! I was amazed by how much we got through in just two hours, and it was a real treat to experiment with indigo and different resist techniques. Would go again!
- 5/5 from Amber Aslam, attended Jan 2026: I enjoyed this workshop so much, it was so interesting to learn about the Itajime Shibori technique and Renata was a wonderful teacher. We were working with Indigo and were able to practice on different fabrics, and given the freedom to produce what we wanted with her support and guidance. The most special part for me was seeing the outcome and opening the fabric at the end. Some beautiful pieces were made! Renata was patient, friendly and very knowledgeable so I'd really recommend booking a class with her for a great and unique experience. Thanks so much Renata!
- 5/5 from Sonia Lacombe, attended Jan 2026: This has been the best class I’ve taken in a long time! Renata is an amazing teacher, encouraging creativity and experimentation. The other participants were just as brilliant, diverse and loads of fun - wish we could have many more sessions together. I’ve learned a lot in a short period of time, plus took home beautifully dyed pieces of fabric.
- 5/5 from Caroline Callan, attended Oct 2025: Fantastic experience, Renata ran a private session for us, we had so much fun and learned so much. Loved what we made and am going to try it for myself now.
- 5/5 from Orla F., attended Oct 2025: Renata was an incredible teacher! I’d never done botanical dying before and I felt that she was very patient with beginners, I’ll definitely be back! ️
- 5/5 from Ashley Evans, attended Dec 2024: I booked this class for a friend's birthday and Renata hosted us in her home. It was really lovely; Renata explained each step of the process carefully, answered our questions and expressed a lot of passion for this technique. We played around and made a few different prints that we took home. My friends and I really enjoyed the workshop and would highly recommend it.
- 5/5 from Delphine, attended Dec 2024: Renata is a dream teacher! She knows her stuff about shibori The delivery of the workshop was amazing: Renata is funny, engaging and you can tell she loves what she does. There was so much to do, great fun and interactive experience that I would highly recommend. Thank you for helping us go even deeper into the world of natural dyes... Who knew onion skins could hold so much magic?
- 5/5 from Florencia Rullo, attended Apr 2024: I am so happy I was able to experience the Itajime Shibori with Botanical Dyes workshop, it was such an enriching experience! Renata knowledge in the traditional Japanese art of Shibori while incorporating natural dyes sourced from botanical materials was such a rewarding experience. I have never practiced this technique before, but the teacher was very patient and guided us through the steps and we got to take a piece home. I LOVE IT!
Your teacher
I'm a visual artist and arts educator working with natural colour, textiles, clay, seeds, and flowers I gather myself. Since 2018, I've been designing and leading sustainable, hands-on workshops and mindful sessions for all kinds of groups: corporate teams looking for something genuinely different and engaging, hen parties wanting a fun creative afternoon, and people who just love making things and learning about plant dyes and fibres.My sessions are grounded in mental health and well-being. I create spaces for play, fun and connection, where there's no right or wrong, just the pleasure of making something with your hands that you can take home at the end of the workshop.Based in Wapping, I'm also happy to travel to your venue. Available for private bookings, team-building events, hen dos, and more.
