SPRING NATURAL DYES COURSE
Spring brings forth a vibrant palette of colours, from the delicate pastels of blossoming flowers to the lush greens of newly sprouted foliage.
Harnessing these hues, artisans and craftsmen have long used natural dyes to infuse textiles, eggs, and other materials with the spirit of the season.
The journey with natural dyes can be such an exciting adventure. Childlike wonder on an exploration to see what happens after the 24 hour soak of the fabric.
There are many surprises that nature hides and then reveals when we are patient. One cannot be but grateful for these discoveries.
you will learn:
what dye tools you can use at home
what spring material you can get out of your garden or kitchen pantry
how to pre-treat and mordant cotton, silk and linen
shades from the same dry material you can achieve on various fabrics
bright, clear and more saturated shades and how to get them
how to make sure your shades are colour fast
tannins and more
how to care for your freshly dyed garments
content:
30 video lessons pre- recorded for you where I talk about the process and my mindset behind it.
access for 2 months to watch them at your own pace
my support offered through Rusuku platform online if required.
dye material list to use throughout the year
Dyeing with herbs, foliage and material from the garden is a wonderful way to bring the beauty of nature into your crafting projects. With a bit of experimentation and creativity, you can create a stunning array of colours using plants and dye stuff that you may already have growing in your backyard.
Once the payment is made, I will send you a confirmation and some set up instructions to your email.
There will also be an opportunity to have Q and A session after you have experimented with extracting your natural colours.
You will have access to the course on Rusuku platform for 2 months and can experiment with dyes at your own pace.
