Ellie is well orgnised and very knowledgeable. She is a good teacher and answers questions fully. We had a very good day and came away with samples, handout leaflets and a few notes of my own. Thank you Ellie.

An Excellent Introductory Day to Natural Dyeing

An excellent introductory day to natural dyeing. Lovely welcome and an immersive day. It can be quite technical but don't let that put you off - you need to understand the basics in order to get the best results.
