Woad: Natural dye workshop

Calthorpe Community Garden, 258-274 Gray’s Inn Road, London, WC1X 8LH
(5 mins from Kings Cross St Pancras)
£60 Reduced to £50
Traditionally blues in Europe came from a plant in the cabbage family: Woad. The colour is hidden and only emerges when the fabric comes out of the dye bath and breathes oxygen. Come and learn about the process and dye your own silk scarf. We’ll also use Weld, a plant that we have used for thousands of years to give a beautiful, clear yellow and then overdye with Woad to give green.
Simple lunch is included and you’ll take away two silk scarves that you’ve dyed during the course.
