Learn the hand dyeing process with natural dyes in the rural SA37 postcode area of Pembrokeshire near to the villages of Boncath and Crymych and the coastal towns of Newport and Cardigan in West Wales.
The one-day craft course will introduce you to hand dyeing with botanical dyes using cellulose fibres – (plant fibres) cotton, linen, bamboo, hemp. These are introduction or refresher workshops which will provide you with the core skills needed for you to build upon and develop in your own time. These natural dye workshops 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.
