Haile Reed reviewed: Ecodyeing - a full day introduction to leaves, rust, heat and fabric alchemy!

" We had a wonderful day learning the foundations of botanical printing on various fabrics using felt, silk noil, paper, and silk to start our botanical printing projects. Judy's knowledge and eagerness to share is inspiring, and she ensures you leave the course feeling confident to create independently. The course is packed with information and fantastic value for money. Creating beautiful botanical silk scarves and printing on felt, silk noils, and paper, all of which you can take home for gifting, wearing, designing and crafting, was inspiring. I am excited to begin experimenting with these techniques at home. Thank you, Judy!"

Jo reviewed: Ecodyeing - a full day introduction to leaves, rust, heat and fabric alchemy!

"I really enjoyed my day with Judy which resulted in me taking home 2 long silk scarves and other items all uniquely printed with leaves and flora gathered from Judy's extensive garden and some bought from my own. Judy was a encyclopaedia of information which is followed up by reams of written notes sent after the workshop. Judy guided us through experimenting with different materials and products which gave a variety of results - all glorious! I've never tried this art before and just love the alchemy. I thoroughly recommend this workshop. Thank you Judy xxx"

Judy P. dye - print - weave responded:

"Thanks Jo. I’m delighted that you enjoyed the day, and you produced beautiful fabrics and papers. I know you will continue - and would love to see what you achieve! Judy "

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."

Judy P. dye - print - weave responded:

"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. "
