<p>I﻿f you are interested in a more hands on experience with natural dyes you can join our Natural Dye taster workshop.  In this workshop you will learn how to extract dye from plant material, experience how different fibres take up dye and see the difference in colour when a mordant is used.  All materials and dyes are supplied.  </p><p>W﻿e will be working with 2 dyes ( madder root and walnuts) and dye 4 different fibres, one set mordanted with Alum and one set unmordanted (a substance that binds dye to the fibre chemically) so that you can see how different fibres take up dye differently. You will also have the opportunity to tie or bind a scarf and dye this to take home with you, together with your samples.</p>
