This workshop focuses on accessible colour, encouraging participants to explore plant-based colour using materials you might find in your backyard or on neighbourhood walks. The session will include examples of common plants and an introduction to different techniques for extracting colour, showing how these methods can produce a range of results. Participants will work with pre-prepared linen yarn, which they’ll dye during the session and take home to use for weaving, mending, or other creative projects.
This is a practical, hands-on workshop suitable for anyone interested in working with plant-based colour using everyday materials.
