The Workshop 4hours
I will share how to make natural dye from everyday household waste, what plants we can forage for botanical dyes , how to make botanical bundles and how to produce lake pigment from the dye bath.
We shall begin with the natural dye and mordant and while our fabric is soaking I will take you to Hackney Marshes to forage for the botanical dye .
On our return we will make the bundles and lake pigment.
You will create a wallhanging to take home with samples of shibori dying techniques and your lake pigment.
These will be intimate max 4 people and run on Sundays from my home in Hackney.
