Learn age-old printing and dyeing processes, working with beautiful and variable gifts from nature.

Various green and some yellow and brown leaves laid out on a white surface, possibly for collection or drying.

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 extracting dyes from plants, find out why certain leaves print better than others, and how they react differently according to the plant dyes they are paired with, 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 for 1-3 participants take place in my small studio near Stroud in Gloucestershire, larger courses fat venues indicated on the Shop page.

I enjoy bringing workshops to you for 4-6 people - I arrive with all materials, including fold up tables when necessary, I need only a space undercover, a sink and two or three electric power points. This day usually involves a walk, foraging for the most suitable leaves in your garden or local area.
