Available spots
Service Description
Botanical Bundle Dyeing Workshop With Tara Macdonald Join Tara Macdonald to learn the joyful process of botanical bundle dyeing: a natural dye technique where fresh flowers & plant material are bundled, wrapped & steamed to create beautiful, surprising prints on fabric. It is a brilliant introduction to natural dyeing & working with nature to create colour, with results that are always unique & seriously satisfying. In this workshop we will use a selection of fresh, seasonal flowers & botanicals to create incredible patterns & colours. You will choose either a silk or organic cotton scarf, & leave with a finished piece to take home & wear. Tara is an experienced gardener, natural dyer & craftsperson. She grows her dye plants & flowers in her garden in Fairlight, then creates naturally dyed textiles from her studio in Rye. Tara teaches regularly at Bus Stop Studios, including our Dye Your Own Yarn workshops, & she is brilliant at making the process feel approachable, creative, & full of possibility. This course is taught in a very small group setting, with plenty of individual guidance & support. Please note: this is a hands-on workshop, so be prepared to get your hands in. It’s wise to bring an apron or wear clothes you do not mind getting marked. Materials The price includes all materials: your choice of scarf (silk or organic cotton), practice pieces, full instructions to take home, & lots of flowers & botanicals.
