Natural Silk Dyeing Workshops in Greater Manchester

What to Expect at a Three Storey Design Workshop

Botanical Silk Scarf Dyeing

In our hands-on workshops, you will learn the ancient Bundle Dyeing technique to craft your own stunning 60cm x 60cm silk scarf. This method uses natural elements like flowers, petals, leaves, and botanical extract dyes to produce intricate and vibrant prints. During the session, your Bundles will be steamed to fix the colors, ensuring your design is both striking and long-lasting.

Experience the Art of Tatakizome

While waiting for your scarf to steam, immerse yourself in the traditional Japanese art of Tatakizome, or Flower Pounding. This fascinating technique involves hammering plants to transfer their pigments and patterns onto a gift card. It's a perfect way to explore another dimension of natural dyeing and take home a beautifully printed card as a keepsake.
