Botanical Printing & Sewing

Indulge in some time for yourself, refresh your mind and tap into your creative side while exploring botanical printing and sewing in a peaceful outdoor setting.

The workshop begins with a guided foraging walk with Sian from Little Forest Feet. You’ll explore the garden and surrounding area, gathering plants to create beautiful eco-print patterns on pre-mordanted recycled cotton fabric. Along the way, you’ll learn which plants produce the best prints, techniques for achieving clear results, and be introduced to plants suitable for natural dyeing.

Once your fabric is printed, you’ll sew it into your own handmade eye pillows / heat pack  to take home and enjoy.
