Agenda

A brief introduction about the Designer and their journey to Botanical dyeing, while enjoying a glass of fizz.

Introduction to Botanical Dyeing


Guests learn how to dye their own square 60cm x 60cm silk scarf by Bundle Dyeing. This is a natural dyeing method which creates botanical prints from flowers, petals, leaves and extract dyes. 

Silk Scarf Printing

The Bundles will be steamed, to draw out and fix the colour. While this takes place guests will learn another process of printing onto a gift card, by Flower pounding, or Tatakizome,  which is an ancient Japanese technique of hammering plants to create a print.


Bundle Dye Steaming  &  Tatakizome printing Gift Card

The most exciting stage. Guests will unwrap their bundles and plant materials to discover their print. Bundle dyeing is completely unpredictable, which is where the beauty lies.
