INTRODUCTION TO NATURAL DYEING AND LOCAL COLOUR: A Number of dates

Join Julia for a full-day workshop on transferring colours found in local plants onto fabric and yarn.

We will cover the key aspects of natural dyeing: fibre preparation and mordanting, sourcing dyestuffs, the various steps involved in preparing and working with a natural dyebath, mordants and modifiers, safe dyeing practice, keeping records of dye experiments and other tips.

We'll also take a short walk to explore the dye potential of plants growing in urban Glasgow.

One to One Tuition

Ongoing

Join Jules for an individualised workshop or consultation. This is a perfect opportunity to take your first steps in dyeing with natural materials, learn about establishing a dye practice or studio or develop a range of shades for a project- or, for more experienced dyers, to get to the bottom of any issues you might be having or spend some time exploring new ideas and techniques.

You’ll agree with Jules what you are interested in and she will produce a session plan that suits you; for problem-solving or covering simple techniques, a shorter session will be suggested. 

One-to-one or small group tuition is available by arrangement during the day, evening or weekend.

Please feel free to share this time with a friend with similar interests to make it more affordable. Small groups of three or more are very welcome but numbers may alter the cost- please get in touch to have a chat!
