Spend the day with natural dye specialist Kate Turnbull, learning how to dye fabric using locally foraged plants and kitchen biowaste.
This hands-on workshop will also guide you through ways in which you can reduce water consumption during the dyeing process, and use your exhausted dye baths to colour additional fabrics and eventually compost back into your garden to enrich your soil.
All materials will be provided, and you will get to take your work home with you. Refreshments will be available throughout the day, but please provide your own lunch.There is also Museum café on-site and a number of food providers within a 10-minute walk.
The Museum will be open from 10am, but the workshop space will be open at 10.25am.
Tickets cost £70 for an adult and £60 for a student (proof of studentship required). Make sure to book in advance to avoid disappointment.
