About this event

Learn about natural dyes hidden in nature.

Come and explore the hidden dye plants of spring alongside the colours that can be found from the scraps from Potager’s kitchen. The workshop will be based in Potager’s greenhouse studio with time to go on a foraging walk in the gardens and woods. Explore non toxic mordant techniques, learn to extract colours from flowers, barks and leaves and leave with your very own bundle dyed piece of organic silk and swatch sheet.

Run by Naomi Hannam – ‘I am artist, educator and nature based facilitator. My work centers around weaving connection between land, community and creativity. I work with the abundance of nature to celebrate beauty, play and curiosity through practical relationships with plants, creativity and fibre’.

Workshop includes a delicious light lunch at Potager Garden Cafe.
