Natural Dye Workshop at the Rare Trades Centre

Learn to create a world of colour using natural dyes with Churchill Fellow, Heather Thomas!

In this two-day workshop, you will create a rainbow pallet using three traditional plant dyes: indigo, madder and woad.

You will layer shades of colour at different strengths on cotton handkerchiefs to create 25 colours.

At the end of the workshop, you will be able to take your dyed handkerchiefs home with you.

Held at Ballarat’s Australian Centre for Rare Arts and Forgotten Trades, a world-class facility dedicated to learning and preserving Australia’s rare arts and trades through a series of workshops, masterclasses, events and residencies.
