There is much to learn in natural dyeing; this session will explain the basics for those interested to begin to experiment.

Maker
I am an artist and writer with MA Art Psychotherapy. I have been spinning for 25 years, dyeing yarns for 9 years and studying natural cycles of the seasons since 1998 with the Ancient Wheel of Wisdom by Lady Colleen Heller. These all come together in my workshops which are creative and nurturing spaces to learn and enjoy the nourishment and connection these activities bring.
