A fun and informative workshop on botanical dyes! This in-person workshop is held in our beautiful studio: SILT, Unit 6 St Georges Works, Silver Street, Trowbridge, UK. You'll learn processes for natural dying using foraged/grown plants and kitchen scraps, explore ancient methods of extracting colour from these botanical sources and discover the magic of transforming fabric. During this hands-on, immersive workshop in the studio, you'll learn about substantive and fugitive dye-plants, make dye baths to see colour changes and variations. You'll produce samples in various tones and take home your fabric swatches at the end of the session. This session covers a range of botanical dyes, and dye processes. You will experiment with modifiers and see how plant colours alter, shift and intensify with different additives. We'll discuss creative applications of these methods and concepts around sustainability and art making. Workshop times: 10.00 - 13.00 Tea and coffee provided throughout the day. Beginners welcome. Small group setting. Led by Anna who uses these processes in her art practice. Questions welcome.
