Natural Dye Workshop

I've got everything ready for a natural dye workshop this week with Tamworth Gospel Choir. Preparation has included sourcing 100% cotton sheets which were then scoured to remove and residues. I then mordanted the cotton ensuring the dye solution fixes to the fabric.

The next step was to dye some test pieces for which I used logwood and a tie dye method. The results are so vibrant!

For the workshop we will be creating scarves which will first be dyed with madder (pinky red colour) and in a second session, these will be tie dyed with logwood (purple).

Watch this space as the natural dye journey begins and follow along on socials for a closer look.
