Dye Garden Work Day: Sowing - Mordanting - Substantive Dyeing

Limited places, please book here.

Join us for a day of work and play in Primary's Dye Garden. Help to prepare the garden for the spring by sowing seeds and transplanting plants. Led by artist Georgina Barney, try one-pot ‘substantive’ dyeing experiments, and learn how to prepare plant-based fabric for dyes by 'mordanting' cotton.

 A lunch of soup and bread will be provided.

This activity will take place outdoors - please dress warmly and wear old clothes that you don't mind getting dirty. The dyeing activity will take place under an outdoor shelter and there will be an indoor space to get tea and coffee throughout the day.
