Unlock the beauty of nature’s palette in this unique Introductory/Refresher Natural Dyeing Workshop at Clover Brooke Farm. Perfect for beginners or those looking to refresh their skills, this workshop will guide you through the fascinating art of eco-printing, where flowers, leaves, and food waste transform into vibrant, wearable works of art.
Using traditional techniques, participants will learn how to extract the hidden hues from natural materials such as onion skins, cabbage leaves, and pomegranate rinds, as well as fresh and dried flowers. These organic treasures will be eco-printed onto silk, creating one-of-a-kind designs that capture the essence of nature.
What you’ll do:
• Learn the fundamentals of natural dyeing, including plant selection and preparation.
• Explore the traditional art of eco-printing, step by step, with expert guidance.
• Use flowers and food waste to design and create your own stunning silk scarf.
By the end of this workshop, you’ll leave not only with a gorgeous eco-printed silk scarf, but also with the knowledge and techniques to continue eco-dyeing at home. This hands-on experience is a fun and sustainable way to reconnect with nature while exploring your creative side.
