Spend a day with local craftswoman Fay Jones in this wonderful ancient woodland learning about dyeing with our native trees.

Celebrate autumn by exploring the wonderful range of subtle warm and earthy hues that can be achieved by dyeing with tree barks. Find the colours hidden away inside the trees of Bradfield Woods and use them to dye some test skeins and samplers. Enjoy the surrounding of these ancient woods and relax with some simple braiding techniques or tree twine making while the dye pots develop. This is a sister course to our 'Natural dyes in summer' workshop, which focuses on leaves.

Suitable for complete beginners.

Fay first learnt about dyeing when she was a Tudor re-enactor at Kentwell Hall. She has built up an eclectic knowledge of native dye plants and their identification. You can find out more and see her upcoming events at The Woodland Haberdasher | Wild Crafts and Workshops. Fay runs several courses with us at Bradfield Woods throughout the year, so check back on our events page for the latest course information.

Please come suitably prepared for the British weather.

Tea and coffee will be served throughout the day and are included in the price. Please bring a packed lunch.
