Join this natural dyes workshop to explore the beautiful technique of bundle dyeing and learn how to make your own unique silk scarf using flowers, bio-waste, and natural dye extracts.
This activity is designed to be a welcoming experience, even if you're completely new to dyeing. You'll learn all about:

  • How to prep, treat, and wash fabrics pre and post-dyeing
  • Resources and supplier lists for you to continue your natural dyeing practice
During the workshop, there will be a 30-minute break to allow your scarves to steam, giving you a moment to relax. Gloves will be provided to protect your hands, but please bring an apron if you can.
You'll leave with not only a stunning, personally designed silk scarf but also an inspiring new skill set to continue exploring natural dyes at home.
What you'll get
You will be provided with a silk habotai scarf and natural dyestuff for dyeing.
