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

Silk Pillowcase Printing
Guests learn how to dye their own rectangle silk pillowcase 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.

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.
