Would you like to learn the foundations of natural dyeing? In this personalised, one-day dyeing workshop in North Somerset, you'll be guided through exactly what you want to learn -- whether that’s the complete basics or a more specialised process such as indigo dyeing.
The dye studio provides everything you need, making this the perfect opportunity to explore natural dyeing without the expense of setting up a space at home. It’s a dedicated, creative space, meaning there’s plenty of room to experiment (and make a bit of a mess!).
By the end of the day, you’ll leave with a collection of samples, detailed notes, a head full of ideas, and the confidence to continue your natural dye practice at home.
What you'll get
  • A wide range of natural fibre fabrics, yarns, and dye materials will be available to use during the day.
  • If you're visiting in the summer months, we can even harvest and work with fresh dye plants from the garden.
  • Your samples, notes and the confidence to continue experimenting at home!
Knowledge required
Beginner-friendly.
What to bring
  • A notebook and pen, and a packed lunch.
  • You’re also very welcome to bring along your own plants or textiles to experiment with during the day.
