Craft Courses Pembrokeshire

Craft Courses Pembrokeshire

Learn a craft - learn how to hand dye Animal fibres (wool, yak, alpaca etc) and Cellulose fibres (cotton, linen, hemp etc) with natural dyes on our natural dyeing craft courses in Pembrokeshire, Wales.   

The 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. Located in the north Pembrokeshire countryside, our hands-on craft courses are held in a purpose designed Dye Studio. These courses are suitable for complete beginners and those that have a little experience. They are the foundation blocks of good practice for you to build and develop your own natural dye journey.

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!
