Discover the beauty of natural colour by creating your own Naturally-Dyed Silk Headscarf and Cotton Vanity Bag.

During the session we will explore all the basics of Natural Dyeing and its benefits on your skin and the planet. I will show examples of just a handful of the beautiful colours you can achieve, before we begin creating our own Naturally-dyed textiles!

What’s Included?

  • Learn the basics of natural dyeing, including fabric prep and dye bath creation
  • Explore eco-friendly dyeing techniques like bundle dyeing and fabric care
  • Create a naturally dyed silk headscarf (cotton option available for vegans)
  • Design and take home a naturally dyed cotton vanity bag
  • Gain inspiration and knowledge of sustainable colour-making methods

This workshop will be hosted in the lovely Chapel, opposite the Framework Knitters museum.

If you are vegan and would like to explore Natural-Dyeing without animal products, please make a note of this when making your booking and I will be happy to accommodate. The silk headscarf will be exchanged for a cotton bandana.
