During the storms of last week I was snug in the workshops of the lovely West Dean College teaching Botanical Natural Dye printing. The 4 day course was part of Earth Matters week. We used dye extracts, bio-waste and modifiers to print onto a variety of natural fibres. The students were engaged and committed; producing beautiful intricate designs using cut-paper stencils, mono-print, and polychromatic printing. #westdeancollege #naturaldyeprinting
