A brief introduction about the designer and their journey to Botanical dyeing, while enjoying a glass of fizz.

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.
3.30pm – 4.30pm 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.
4.30pm – 5.00pm 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.
