A playful inspiring 2.5 hour workshop where natural dyeing basics will be shared. You'll learn how to Bundle Eco Dye and create with plants and food, plus other natural materials. We will also use flowers, food, weeds and leaves to create patterns on raw cotton with a basic technique that is simple to do with children. It's the perfect workshop to do with the crafty teenager or young one in your life.

All the raw materials and a Pure Silk Scarf 45cm x 160cm will be provided to decorate in all natural delightful colours, plenty of unbleached cotton dye tests and for hammering flower patterns. Message Inside Jo.B if you are vegan and want a cotton scarf instead of silk.

Feel free to bring your own local foraged materials, from your garden and neighbourhood to mark the silk and cotton fabrics. In addition you'll spend a short time wandering around the local area to collect some basics for natural dyeing your scarves. You will also Eco Dye your own t-shirt/singlet or light pillow slip from home (Natural fabrics like cotton and linen only and pre-washed). If you want to bring your own fabric no bigger than 1/2 a meter this can be dyed too. More silk scarves will be available to purchase if preferred.
