Ranbir K. Bains reviewed: Natural dyeing - a taster day

"Thoroughly enjoyed this course. Judy is very engaging as a tutor. Her knowledge and years of experience is evident in the ease with which she is able to impart this in her teaching. I am new to the craft of dyeing and having thought I would be able to teach myself, I realised how invaluable it is to learn from a practitioner. A plus is Judy still loves her craft and teaching its techniques to new students."

"Thankyou so much Ranbir, I’m glad you enjoyed the day. And I look forward to seeing you in July for another workshop. Get back to me with any questions when you are set up at home to do your own plant dyeing. "

Diane reviewed: Cyanotype Prints - the fundamentals and more ...

"A busy day with lots of techniques to experiment with. Judy explained and demonstrated the basics of the processes and then we had free reign to try them out using the materials she had prepared for us. The workspace was a little crowded but we made good use of the garden and it was fine. We came away with lots of pieces of work created. I'm intrigued to see what else I can do by experimenting, and am ordering supplies now! Thank you for the tea loaf too - scrummy!"

Judy P. dye - print - weave responded:

"Thanks Diane. I’m glad you enjoyed the day and the tea loaf!! I am Grateful for your feedback on space. I plan to reduce the number of workshop participants accordingly, especially as Autumn approaches. Look forward to seeing your results as you further experiment. Judy "

Florence Tester reviewed: Cyanotype Prints - the fundamentals and more ...

"A lovely day learning cyanotype techniques in Judy's house and garden. A great introduction to the basics and how the process works, as well as trying out some more complex techniques to inspire us with ideas to try again and experiment at home. Slightly rushed towards the end but that was because we had lots to fit in - which was a good thing as have taken away a lot of techniques that I can't wait to try again at home!"

Judy P. dye - print - weave responded:

"Thank you Florence, it was a very full day wasn't it. And so much work produced. Glad you enjoyed it. I would love to see your work as you start producing at home. Judy "

It was a very enjoyable and useful day."

Maggie Hawker reviewed: Natural dyeing - a taster day

"I’ve already tinkered with natural dyeing but wanted to learn how to do it properly. I wasn’t disappointed! What a lovely, friendly and homely day we had. All my questions were answered, all the things I’d done wrong previously were highlighted and a way forward and enthusiasm for getting on with it achieved! It was more like spending a day with friends than a course and we were very well looked after in terms of food and drinks - and lovely cake! A thoroughly enjoyable day and a huge collection of sample fabrics now at home for reference. Thank you Judy. I can’t wait to do your other courses! X"

dee reviewed: Ecodyeing with Natural Dyes and Indigo. An Intermediate Course.

"I had absolutely enjoyed leaned about the Eco dying technique from a great tutor, Judy. I had also attended her course on Eco dyeing - a full day introduction to leaves, rust, heat and fabric alchemy! which was very informative and had given me a very good insight on the principles of Eco dyeing and the different types of leaves and dyes use and what effect could be achieved with various combinations. There was no limit to the use of various dyes and types of leaves she had provided. we had used the fabric and various leaves and dyes very generously. She is very passionate about her work as well as teaching us both basic theory and practical side of it. It was really useful to learn from her experience, where we could go wrong and how to mend or correct various techniques. She was very up to date with various techniques that others practice in various part of the world and even shared that and allowed us to experiment them in her studio. We had the opportunity to practice on various medium including various fabrics and even papers. I would love to learn some more on various dye methods and looking forward to attending few more classes with her. End of the day I did come out with beautiful scrves and may sample pieces which I could frame Also, the freshly made home made soups and deserts very absolutely amazing with unlimited access to teas and coffees. I have even suggested her to start some cookery/baking classes I absolutely enjoyed both the classes with her and would strongly recommend to attend her classes"

Grace reviewed: Natural dyeing - a taster day

"My day with Judy was an inspiration , and met all my expectations. Judy is a very good teacher, and I now have a good overview of the theory and practice of dyeing fabric and yarn with fresh plant material and extracts, including the variation achieved with mordants, heat, and post-dyeing treatments with acids and alkali. Judy's broad experience with spinning , weaving , felting and knitting set the workshop in context and I'm keen to have a go."

Judy P. dye - print - weave responded:

"Thank you so much Grace for your feedback. It was a lovely day - and I am still working on the st johns wort - I shall post the results on this site. "
