Video Workshop: Bundle Dyeing
£55.00
Bundle dyeing is a contemporary natural dye technique, which allows for the direct transfer of colours and prints from flowers and plant materials, using a simple fold, bind and steam technique.
It is a beautiful multi-sensory experience of colour, frangrance and soft sensual textures which creates the most mesmerising repeat patterns over silk and other fabrics.
This gorgeous workshop will guide you through the process step-by-step, while providing all the information and details to make the most of this beautiful craft technique and make the most beautifully dyed fabrics.
You can gather your own materials and flowers to use with the workshop or you may prefer to order a bundle dye kit with all the materials included that you may need for the class. You may also wish to supplement the dried flowers and dye extracts in the kit with your own locally harvested flowers, weeds and kitchen waste, for which a list of suitable varieties will be suggested and provided.
You will receive a video link to watch and follow along step-by-step. You can pause or re-watch at your convenience.
You will only need some simple kitchen equipment for this workshop inc:
Stainless steel pot, lid, insert (eg pasta insert, seive or veg steamer), tongs and a heat source.
We will discuss how to use natural and non toxic mordants to fix the colours and make them strong and fast.
You can order a BUNDLE DYE KIT to go with this class, plus additional materials to use from my website, such as organic uk-grown silk, raw organic natural dyes and a range of organic natural dye extract powders along with signed copies of my book.
Please allow 4-5 working days for physical items to be dispatched.
