Screen Printing Workshops
I now offer screen printing workshops from time to time in conjunction with Sew Make Create. This workshop will teach you the basics of printing, using stencils and one colour. We will design our own motif, and print on a tote bag.
Natural Dye Workshops (these workshops are currently not running)
At my dye workshops I share my love for dyeing with natural dyestuffs and earth friendly ingredients in a fun and sustainable way. We use ingredients such as botanical flowers/herbs/leaves, and we investigate foodstuffs as dye. Some of my favourite things to dye with are avocado seeds/peels, turmeric, even tea leaves.
You can also dye with other food waste such as passionfruit skins and other unexpected and overlooked foodstuffs. For the fresh botanical dyestuffs, I use mainly windfallen leaves and flowers, or other foliage that has been kindly donated from time to time by my local florist, or a friend/neighbour.
In my workshops I may demonstrate classic beginner shibori techniques or the bundle dye technique. In the longer format workshops I do both. All my workshops are suitable for all levels of dyers from beginning to more advanced.
Below are some images from my previous workshops and my work.
