Natural dyeing: Reds and yellows with Madder and Weld
Saturday 26th April 12.30pm-4.30pm
Calthorpe Community Garden, 258-274 Gray’s Inn Road, London, WC1X 8LH
(5 mins from Kings Cross St Pancras)
£60 (£50 early-bird until 1st April)
Very few plants produce a red dye. We’ll be using the traditional Madder to produce a range of reds and pinks. The roots of madder have been used for thousands of years in England because the plant is hardy enough to survive our winters.
We’ll dip-dye to blend with yellow from Weld and over-dye to create oranges.
Afternoon tea and cake is included and you’ll take away two silk scarves that you’ve dyed during the course.
