Natural Dye Workshop: Napkin Dyeing

In this workshop with Belfast-based artist Fiona Nicholson, you’ll explore the history and craft of working with natural dyes, learning how to extract colour from plants and apply it to fabric. With Fiona’s guidance, you’ll dye two cotton or linen napkins to take home along with her tips for experimenting with natural dyeing yourself.
