Event description

Experiment with indigo and enjoy the range of blues, from light to dark, which appear like magic on your swatches. Experiment with over dyeing to create stunning greens and burgundies, bringing tonal variation into your work.

Choose between making scarves, napkins or striking textured prints - all of which can become stunning artworks to display in your home. You may even take on a Japanese Rice Bag for an extra challenge!

Helen specialises in eco leaf printing, indigo, shibori, natural dyeing and rust printing. Whilst living in Vientiane, Laos, Helen worked alongside the master dyers and weavers at The Houey Hong Vocational Training for women and learned about the natural dyeing process native to Laos.

Spending her time between Dorset and South East Asia, Helen shares her experience and knowledge through these workshops.

No experience necessary.

This is an afternoon session running from 2pm-5pm.

Spend a full day with Helen and join in for her morning session of Eco Leaf Printing, from 10am-2pm.
