Saturday 15:15-16:15 Natural Dye Workshop: 'Shibori Tie Dying Using Local Plant Dyes' 

Forage, create natural dyes and print on UK grown, handmade organic textiles with Botanical Inks  Learn to harness environmentally sustainable colour from your landscape in our foraging, dye-making and surface application workshops.

Take pleasure in gathering wild plants, harvesting organic produce and re-using food waste for creative textile design. Learn the wholesome art of making natural dyes and the traditional, "low-impact" printmaking craft of Japanese Shibori tie-dye.  

Botanical Inks promote permaculture principles, using chemical-free processes which are both safe for participants' use and for the Earth, as well as locally sourced fibres, which have been organically grown, biologically washed and manufactured in England. They provide a pioneering model for circular textile production systems in the UK, based on human-scale and biologically nutritious design.
