Helen reviewed: Indigo blue, print and stitch a weekend creative retreat in Glasgow

"I have recently completed a similar weekend course run by Elisabeth Viguie Culshaw (at a different venue). I learnt how to set up and maintain an indigo vat and dyed samples using a variety of different fabrics. We covered various Shibori folding and clamping techniques and the use of everyday materials, such as clothes pegs and jam jar lids, as a resist to produce patterns on the dyed fabric. I thoroughly enjoyed the weekend and felt that I learnt a lot. I was delighted that I came home with the skills to set up my own vat at home and continue experimenting with the techniques I'd learnt. Elisabeth is a knowledgeable and passionate tutor and made the whole weekend a fun and creative experience. I can't wait to get started on some more indigo dyeing!"

Rosamund Rodriguez reviewed: Eco print your Scottish leaves weekend in Glasgow

"I thoroughly enjoyed learning to Eco Print, I had never done it before and was fascinated to learn how it all works as well as the sheer joy of just playing! Exploring the possibilities of the different leaves and finding myself developing a greater understanding of the process meant that by day two I was confidently experimenting with a range of leaves, papers and fabrics. I was thrilled with how much work I had to take home and look forward to more happy hours practicing this new craft and using my prints in other projects."
