Let’s get messy and make some colour together! Join Katie from Studio Tinta for a beautiful workshop in the ancient craft of natural dyeing.
This workshop is suitable for complete beginners and will cover a range of techniques including: Bundle-dyeing (or eco-printing), Tie-dyeing and resist techniques, Dyeing with food waste, Dyeing with leaves and flowers, Dyeing with natural extracts and powders, and using plant and protein fibres.
Included in this workshop you'll be given 1 silk scarf to either bundle-dye or tie dye, and fabric swatches in hemp, silk and velvet for experimenting. We'll supply a beautiful array of leaves, flowers, natural dye extracts and powders to create your own unique piece.
In addition, on the day there is an option to purchase a silk pillowcase for dyeing.

After three years of selling at markets including Finders Keepers in Sydney and Melbourne, and via the online store, Studio Tinta was frequently selling out of each batch of pillowcases and was featured in media like Frankie, Peppermint Magazine, Broadsheet and Vogue.
Katie realised that many of her customers not only wanted to purchase hand-dyed textiles, but they had a desire to learn the art of natural dyeing themselves. So, she decided to provide Natural Dye Kits, and create Natural Dye School: a fully online, self-paced course that teaches students all over the world how to dye with confidence, paint with plants and create unique textiles.
Studio Tinta is now located on Awabakal land in New South Wales, Australia, and is committed to providing excellent natural dye education that encourages people to learn how to reuse, upcycle and save textiles from landfill using sustainable methods.
