This is a fun activity in Wapping, London
In this workshop we will learn how to correctly modify colours on a dye bath as well as in naturally dyed textiles using a few methods which will include a natural bleach technique, natural painted resists and metal salts to switch colours to further develop your natural dyeing palette.
This might sound a little bit too technical but it is actually simple, straightforward and a lot of fun! You will end up with a wealth of options to explore and add to your natural dye practice in regards to surface decoration and colour palettes. These techniques can be applied on paper or textiles. On this occasion we will be working with textiles.
I will be showing samples on different fibres, giving some natural dye tips and sharing some basic -and not so basic!- information regarding natural dyes, including some good ways to prepare fabrics for dyeing and what are the fibres that best take natural colour.
This is a family friendly workshop and beginners as well as more experienced participants are welcome to join.
