Designed to equip you with the knowledge to carry on your own practice, these courses take you through the processes of dyeing and printing. You will learn about the ways to extract dyes from plants, and discover why certain leaves print better than others, and how they react differently according to the chemical constituents of the plant dyes they are paired with, according to the seasons and the weather. You will print your own silk scarf from scratch and leave with your own piece of wearable botanic art.

Courses take place at my studio near Stroud in Gloucestershire and at other venues where indicated on the Shop page. Courses at the studio are intimate, for only four participants, from 10am-4pm with home made and often home grown lunch.
