Natural Dye Summer School (five day course)
Dyeing with natural plant dyes is the oldest form of fabric colouration and has recently been rising in popularity. It has always had an established following in the folk and new age market, but the recent shift in demand for more natural and healthy alternatives has dramatically increased interest in this art.
This course will teach you the science and practical application of this subject. It will also show you how to engage with the network of those involved in eco fashion, ethical fashion, folk fashion and natural dye providers.

Continental Knitting & Fair Isle Workshop with Juliet Bernard
Juliet Bernard was taught to knit by her German grandmother at the age of 5 or 6 using the continental method on circular needles. For her this is a very natural way to knit and very fast. She was the editor of The Knitter for 5 years and now works exclusively in the craft industry as well as teaching knitting. Juliet's blog is hosted on Huffington Post.
Mastering the technique of continental knitting will allow the knitter to progress to two- handed Fair Isle which will make your stranded knitting projects much neater. During the workshop you will make a fair isle hat combining both continental knitting and fair isle techniques.
Yarn, refreshments and a finger buffet lunch will be provided on the day.
A 10% off voucher is also included.
