Our next Natural Dyeing workshop


Next Saturday we will have our next workshop we will be using new colours, yellow, green and red and doing some over dyeing and bleaching back.

I did a demonstration of this piece of fabric at the last workshop. I dyed it with indigo, leaving the top right hand area white and then dyed it in a jam jar with iron and tannin. Recently I have dyed it with weld to give the yellow and green where the weld has over dyed the indigo. I then tied off small circles [around buttons] and covered them with plastic before dyeing with iron and tannin again.  I hoped it would look like lichen on stone.
