Create Colours From Plants: Tie-Dyeing With Botanical Colours

from £45.00

The Courtyard, off The Bourne, Hastings (the lower end, TN34), East Sussex

Saturday 23rd August • 2pm-5pm • £45 for 1 adult • £60 for 1 adult + 1 child

Susannah Hall is a renowned London-based teacher of natural dyes and other traditional crafts offering summer courses in Hastings.

Join me by the sea to experiment with dyeing silk scarves with madder (traditional red), weld (traditional yellow), turmeric (gold) and onion skins (soft brown). You’ll be able to use different tie-dye techniques and have fun combining dip-dyeing and over-dyeing to create a variety of effects. You’ll learn about mordanting and preparing the dye bath.

What people think of my London classes:

“Absolutely exalted, it was more than I hoped for, and all I wished for!”

“Really accessible – clear & open to questions”

Typical class size: 8 people

Afternoon tea will be provided

No experience necessary

You’ll need to bring an apron and rubber gloves
