Part art, part science, part experimentation, and a lot of fun! This is a practical, hands on workshop that covers sustainable techniques using plants for natural dye extraction. You will learn the preparation and process of natural dyeing techniques; and how to create different dyeing effects.
Focusing on natural dyes for fabrics, and giving you the means to recreate and renew clothing / textiles in a sustainable, ecological and mindful way.

Yvonne Dalton is a practicing textile artist based in Keyneton who has exhibited in Australia, and also featured in international textile publications. Whilst experienced with a wide variety of dyeing techniques, Yvonne prefers to focus on processes that avoid chemical treatment of the textiles, and has experimented widely with native dye plants. Her techniques result in beautiful colours and textures that reflect the landscape in its moods and seasons.  Her passionate commitment to the natural environment and a sustainable future is reflected in her work.
