Christmas Stocking Flower Bundle Dye Workshop

About

Would you like your Christmas to be more sustainable this year? Would you like to do something a bit different? Why not join Tara Macdonald to create your own beautifully hand dyed Christmas stocking?

We will be using flowers and botanicals to bundle dye a 100% cotton Christmas Stocking which you will be able to use again and again. Or pop in a gift or two for a unique and sustainable wrapping. We will also be dyeing a piece of ribbon to hang your stocking for Santa, or wrap around a special gift.

Bundle dyeing is a great way to introduce yourself to natural dyeing and Tara will be explaining the fundamentals to get you started in this fascinating craft. Everything will be supplied so just bring yourself and some Christmas spirit!

There are so many plants that yield incredible colour and have been used for centuries to dye our textiles. Bundle dyeing; the gentle steaming of plant colour directly onto cloth, is the perfect way to introduce yourself to natural dyeing.

Tara Macdonald began her career as a horticulturist and garden designer. Her fascination with craft and plants has led her to develop her practice in botanical dyeing. Working from her dye studio in Rye, she loves to use gathered plants and those she grows in her own garden in her work.'
