MAKE YOUR DYE BATHS WITH SPRING BLOSSOMS, PETALS AND BARKS

DYE WITH BLOSSOMS, PETALS AND BARKS

Tune in with the season and make your own spring dye baths from foraged blossoms and gathered materials.

We see, hear and breathe the beauty of spring as we take walks outside or sit in the garden. When we know what to look for and have clear steps in mind, we can make the most of what nature provides.

 This bounty of floral bouquets is a vivid reminder that we can collect petals from our cherished bouquets and re-use the material in natural dyeing. A beautiful way to breathe new life and extend the joy of these gifts. In this session you will learn how to take steps using some wilted petals and other foraged materials to make your own natural-dye experiments with confidence.

Online Zoom Session: 1 hour session

Date: 13th May, 2023, 4-5 PM ( UK time)

In this online Zoom mini group session you will be guided through the principles of natural seasonal dyeing to create your own unique spring natural dye baths.

In order to do this you don’t need to invest in extra materials. The good news you can re-purpose and upcycle a plain white t-shirt or a small garment or a table cloth you already have or can buy seconhand.

Perfect way to spend a morning or an afternoon in a company with your friend to refresh and inspire your botanical wardrobe and getting ready for the warmer months of the year.

“Classes with Tanya were absolutely amazing. She almost made it feel that they were actually in person one on one, rather than long distance and via Zoom !
I loved learning all of the felting/dyeing techniques. She is a true master in this area and hopefully I’ll be lucky enough to keep working and learning from here.” Giovanna, Mexico
