On each date there will be a different colour vat available;
Jan 16th; Brown Onion
Jan 30th; Red Onion
Feb 27th; Coreopsis
March 13th; Amaranth (tbc)
Alongside the main dye bath, you can purchase an add-on to tie dye or dip dye an extra garment in our indigo vat.
How to prepare and mordant a garment for upcycling with natural dye
Different plants that give colour including experimentation with swatches using 4 plant colours
The process for dyeing with indigo, including practical demonstrations
How to extract colour for dyeing, and how to prepare a dye bath
Please note; this is a taster and experimental session, we cannot guarantee any particular results or shades. Many factors affect the final shade of a garment; including- chemicals present on the garment, the fibre that it is made from, previous dyes, stains etc.
Please check the the garment you intend to dye has a high natural fibre content, synthetic fibres do not easily take natural dyes.

female Women-owned

The Remakery started 10 years ago as a community space for repairing and upcycling furniture.
Since then we have developed several communal workshops for a range of eco-craft activities, and an exciting programme to link climate action with the empowerment of making with your hands.
Our practitioners have trained at London's top Arts schools, or developed their skills over years of self-discovery.
Our programme is curated by Alice Holloway; A researcher in regenerative fashion with The RCA and London Met university, and Innovate Creative Catalyst grant winning regenerative fashion designer.
The skills we share at the Remakery are proven to improve mental health, as well as change how class attendees see the world. We want everyone to feel empowered to make a difference, and we have seen how learning to make something is often in the first step towards changing something bigger.
