Spend a day learning natural dyeing techniques with Cathy of Plum Stitch and Dye. Throughout the workshop, you will learn about mordanting with tannin and alum, and modifying dyes.

This is a hands-on and relaxed day, and will include the following:

• Natural dyeing to produce blue, yellow, and greens, using dyes such as indigo, weld, onion, and other natural plants
• Double dip dyeing will be used to get a range of shades

You will take home a selection of hand-dyed natural pieces to use in your sewing, learn the skills to dye at home, and make a few friends as well!

This workshop is suitable for anyone who has an interest in dyeing, from beginners to seasoned crafters.

Wear old clothing, or an apron and please bring gloves and something to take your dyed fabric home in.

Please bring a packed lunch, but tea, coffee, and biscuits will be provided.

This workshop is suitable for adults only. There is wheelchair access into the venue, however small steps up into the kitchen, please call us to discuss access arrangements.

Please book in advance as spaces are limited!
