Description
Botanical bundle dyeing is a natural dyeing method using botanical materials such as leaves, flowers, barks, vegetables & even kitchen waste. Through a process of placing plant materials onto fibre, making little bundles, tying and steaming, it helps to release and transfer nature’s magical colours from plant materials onto the fibre.
At the end of the workshop, you will take home your own unique and creative bundle-dyed silk bandana and an appreciation of other natural dyeing techniques.
