Wild Colour & Pattern Mordant Printing Workshop

Join me to learn how to print with mordants and make colours and patterns using this ancient craft.

Forage for natural dyes on the South Downs & make your own patterned cloth using this wonderful natural technique. You will learn how to identify seasonal dye plants that are growing on these beautiful chalk uplands, make up a wide range of dye baths and use mordants & after baths to create a wonderful range of patterns & colours.

I’m running two workshops in 2025 – in the Spring & the Autumn when natural colours are at their zenith. Both workshops will take place and will take place  in beautiful Wiston Village Hall, West Sussex. You will have the chance to explore the fields, hedgerows & woods of this lovely part of Sussex. All materials are provided as well as a simple veggie lunch. I keep student numbers low – there is only ever 6 students on my workshops

Ps Here’s what previous students have said about this workshop:

Sarah is a fantastic tutor and shared so much of her knowledge

I came away feeling like I had learnt something completely new & worthwhile

I can’t wait to start experimenting with natural dyes now I’ve completed this fantastic course.
