Our first natural Dyeing workshop

I was very pleased with how our first natural dyeing workshop went. As you can see we did indigo dyeing and also ferrous sulphate with tannin.
We did some tray dyeing, tying round a core and jam jar dyeing. This lovely piece was folded and tyed, that gives the lovely repeat pattern and then it was indigo dyed.
This piece is silk that has been dyed in a jam jar with iron and tannin. It has beautiful patterns on it.
Another person has dyed this piece of silk organza to go with some of the artificial flowers that had blown off some of the graves in Kensal Green. An imaginative and delightful idea.
