Botanical Dyeing Workshop

Learn the art of dyeing using Australian native ingredients



2 hours Class size 6 to 30 guests    

$95 ($60 per class surcharge applies for private classes)


Looking for relaxing things to do in Melbourne? Join Jessica in this beginner-friendly workshop, where you will learn how to dye a silk scarf using Australian native ingredients.
In this workshop, Jessica shares her love of eucalyptus and the wonder of experimenting with plants in textile design. You will learn some basic techniques for dyeing with eucalyptus and native bushfoods.
You will receive a small silk scarf which you will decorate with a wide range of eucalyptus plants. You will then bind the scarf and plant matter together to produce a dye bundle.
This will be processed through heat in a pot of eucalyptus dye after the workshop, and returned to you by mail.
This class is a fantastic way to immerse yourself in nature and be inspired to design beautiful patterns onto your scarves. Once it's been delivered to your home, it's ready to use and match with your outfits!
