Botanical Dyed Silk Scrunchie Workshop
Workshop Leader: Claire Mellalieu
Saturday, 19th April, 11:15am - 1pm
Join Claire from Three Storey Design for a fun and hands-on workshop where you’ll learn the art of creating beautiful silk scrunchies using natural botanical dyes!
Introduction to Botanical Dyeing
A brief introduction about the designer and their journey to Botanical dyeing, while enjoying a glass of fizz.
Silk Scrunchie Printing
Guests learn how to dye their own large scrunchie by Bundle Dyeing. This is a natural dyeing method which creates botanical prints from flowers, petals, leaves and extract dyes.
Bundle Dye Steaming & Tatakizome printing Gift Card
The Bundles will be steamed, to draw out and fix the colour. While this takes place guests will learn another process of printing onto a gift card, by Flower Pounding, or Tatakizome, which is an ancient Japanese technique of hammering plants to create a print.
The Big Reveal
The most exciting stage. Guests will unwrap their bundles and plant materials to discover their print. Bundle dyeing is completely unpredictable, which is where the beauty lies.
