Join us for a fun and hands-on creative day at the Botanical dyed Silk Scarf Workshop!
Learn the ancient art of natural dyeing and create your own beautiful silk scarf using botanical materials.
During this 3 hour workshop, guests learn how to dye their own square 60cm x 60cm silk scarf by Bundle Dyeing. This is a natural dyeing method which creates botanical prints from flowers, petals, leaves, & extract dyes.
The bundles will be steamed, to draw out and fix the colour. While this takes place guests will learn another process of printing onto a gift card, by flower pounding, or Tatakizome, which is an ancient Japanese technique of hammering plants to create a print.
Tickets are £50 per place with a glass of fizz!
Booking required.
