Workshop Natural Textile Dyeing

By Katarzyna Stasinska

Participants would learn how to dye fibres using popular Medieval dyeing plants (madder, weld and woad). We will try different mordants and modifiers, to receive a variety of shades from one plant. We will also observe effect on different fibres such as silk, linen and wool. All participants will receive sets of samples to take home.
