Craft Courses in Wales for Beginners and those with some Experience

All our Craft Courses in Wales are held in our purpose designed Dye Studio in Pembrokeshire. There's plenty of parking and six workstations to accommodate six students with room to spare.

Learn how to hand dye protein fibres (animal fibres such as sheep wool, alpaca, yak and silk) or cellulose fibres (plant fibres such as cotton, linen, hemp and bamboo) using the traditional natural dyes. These craft courses are a hands on learning experience using ancient 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 dye yarn and fabrics with lasting colour successfully to use in your projects at home. 

There is a beauty and depth of colour to natural dye that becomes more beautiful with age. These courses opens the door to that world of colour and you will be amazed at the colours you will be able to produce using Nature and a little knowledge! 

Craft Courses Wales - Where exactly are we?

We are based in the SA37 post code in Pembrokeshire, Wales. All workshops are held in the purpose designed FelinFach Dye Studio. The sat Nav postcode takes you to a farm one mile away, so is not that helpful!! The exact location, with directions and a map will be provided well in advance of each workshop.
