Ria will be at Fernhill Farm’s next Fibre Experince, hosting a natural dye plant walk and workshop on September 21st. They will also have a pop-up shop selling their naturally dyed knitwear, book, dried natural dyes and seeds.

1:30-2:30pm Natural Dye Plant Walk and Talk (free to attend, please pre-book your space)

A short walk across the farm, identifying and foraging for wild dye plants along the way. Back at the saloon we will talk more about my work with wild dye plants and show the range of colours that can be achieved with the plants found during the walk.

2:30 - 4pm Natural Dye Workshop (£40 per person)

I will also be running a workshop where you can learn how to create natural colour on wool. We’ll use natural dye plants gathered on the farm, plus fresh flowers from my Bristol garden to dye Fernhill wool yarns and scarves in a range of vibrant colours, using a variety of different natural dye techniques.

The workshop price includes either 50g of yarn to dye (in the form of 5 10g mini skeins), or a knitted scarf to dye which can be taken home to enjoy at the end of the workshop.
