Welcoming a new group to the FelinFach Dye Studio for a two day course - 1st and 2nd October. Still a couple of places left, last booking date for these craft courses is tomorrow, 28th September.
Start your natural dyeing journey here, in the rural SA37 postcode area of Pembrokeshire. Learn how to hand dye protein fibres (animal fibres such as sheep wool, alpaca, yak and silk) and cellulose fibres (plant fibres such as cotton, linen, hemp and bamboo) using traditional natural dyes. Expert tuition in a professional, purpose designed dye studio environment.
The craft courses are a hands-on learning experience using ancient natural dyes such as Madder, Weld, and Cochineal, to name a few, in their natural form as well as extract. You will leave with the knowledge to successfully dye yarn and fabrics with lasting colour to use in your projects at home, using only natural dyes.
All equipment is provided and you will take away skeins of yarn of various sizes that you have personally dyed. You also will have a Dye Journal Notebook to record your recipes and and a file of information covering what you have learnt during the day.
There are some other craft course dates available in October and November, click here...
