Join Carly from Rivarossa Botanicals for a hands-on eco printing workshop exploring the beautiful art of bundle dyeing with flowers grown in her own garden. Participants will learn how to arrange fresh botanicals on pre-treated natural fabric, then wrap and steam their bundles to reveal unique, nature-made patterns and colours.
Along the way, Carly will share insights into the textile industry, the environmental impact of conventional dyeing, and the natural preparation methods used to help fabrics absorb plant-based colour. Each participant will create and take home their own naturally dyed fabric piece.
