mettelw

Recommended Posts

In this workshop, you will learn the steps involved in creating an indigo vat and experience the magic that results from indigo dyeing. After preparing the vat, we?ll take time while it rests to prepare yarn and fabric to make solid colours and patterns. We?ll cover traditional methods of shibori resist dyeing ? folding, clamping, scrunching and binding - to create beautiful repeat patterns.


There will also be a chance to discuss some of the keys aspects of dyeing with indigo (fibre preparation, maintaining a vat and overdyeing to create complex colours).


The cost of the session is ?65. All participant will receive comprehensive notes on the processes covered and samples of fabric and yarn dyed in the workshop. You can bring along a piece of fabric or a small garment to dye in the workshop but I will have some silk, wool and organic cotton available to purchase and dye on the day.


This session takes place at Space at 61, 61 Cheltenham Road, Nunhead SE15 3AF. To book your space on this workshop, please email me [email protected]

    • Big recommendation for Stephen Viccary who has created a magnificent bathroom for us. Quality of work is absolutely top notch. We couldn't be happier - see pics.  Stephen is considerate and tidy meaning working from home during the work was fine (some noise - obviously, it is a demo and installation after all. He does not work on multiple jobs, does a full days work and does ALL the work himself - Tiling, plumbing, lighting (including lighting on a motion sensor under the vanity and in the shower niche - for night time visits 😉), he even changed the door architraves, sorted the badly cracked ceiling and did all the paint work. A full end to end service. Stephen's number - 07941 266 145
    • Highly recommend Dulwich Eco Gardening.  When he came to quote Saied said he’d give our garden back so we could decide what we do next.  Under two weeks of hard work from Saied and Mo and we have the garden back and can see paving I’d forgotten about. Not only did Saied remove our very overgrown greenery. Nature had taken over. He also took back to our fence line overgrown ivy, apple and pear trees and and dealt with a neighbours bamboo that had invaded our garden.  We are now going to get quotes for what we do next so those quoting will be able to see the space.  Saied has suggested someone to quote and will be coming back when he does in case he has any questions or they can work together.  I thought Saied would be a good choice and he was. Quotes from others didn’t leave me with confidence for the end result. That was never a concern with Saied.
