About this event
A relaxing, inspiring and joyful creative experience working with colourful seasonal flowers and natural materials for multi-sensory bundle dyeing with mindful foraging and crafting techniques and guided plant connection practices.
A half day workshop of 2.5 hours, with a foraging element to harvest flowers from the Boconnoc gardens, with guidance for responsible harvesting techniques and a plant connection/grounding exercise.
A bundle dyeing demonstration and practical session to dye an organic UK-grown unbleached peace silk scarf (50 x 140cm) with flowers from the garden and the addition of some organic traditional dye extracts.
While the bundles steam for an hour, Babs will lead a rose tea guided plant meeting, followed by a cream tea and an opportunity to socialise, talk more about natural dyeing and show samples or different techniques.
