Indigo Dying

Watch the magic as indigo dyed fabric turns from green to a beautiful blue right before your eyes in this workshop. Various folding and resist techniques will be shown to enable you to make a range of amazing patterns. You could even dye a T-shirt (bring your own – 100% cotton).

Beginners Printing with Thickened Dyes

Use brushes, stencils, print blocks and textures to create exciting and colourful fabrics with thickened procion dyes. Create unique fabrics that are just not available in the shops. These fabrics will be fully washable when finished.

Fabric Dyeing with Batik

Use hot wax resist to pattern fabrics before dyeing them with procion dyes. Layer up the patterns for some spectacular colour mixing effects. Due to the nature of hot wax this workshop is not suitable for young children.
