Join Moira Byrne and Lorna Lafferty of the Wicklow Patchwork Group, for a three-hour natural dying and stamping workshop. With years of experience, our guides will teach you how to dye cotton using simple natural materials that can be found in our rich Autumnal harvest. During this workshop participants will get an overview of dying fabric in a number of ways. You will eco-dye reused clothes and fabrics using leaves and plants. You will also use synthetic dyes and stamping techniques to print a cotton tote bag which you will take home from the session.
All materials supplied.
