Join me to learn how to mordant print & create patterned fabric with a wide range of foraged seasonal plant dyes.
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 only one workshop in my home studio this year on the 26th & 27th September – when autumn colours are at their fruitiest. 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 4 students on this workshop.
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.
