Native Botanical Dyeing & Floral Arranging Workshop
During this workshop, participants will have the exciting opportunity to create a one-of-a-kind peace silk scarf and a wildflower bouquet arrangement using carefully selected native Australian plants. Carly and Tara will guide you through the intricate process, sharing their expertise and knowledge along the way. As the scarves are steamed to perfection, you will have the delightful task of crafting a stunning bouquet using the same indigenous flowers, allowing you to fully immerse yourself in the botanical experience.
Carly, the owner of Rivarossa Botanicals, will talk about sustainability in the textile industry. She'll explain the environmental impact of conventional textile production and showcase the eco-friendly practices used by her company. This will help you understand the importance of conscious consumption and positive changes in fashion and textiles.
Tara, the owner of Euka Floral Design, will discuss sustainability in the floristry industry and teach you how to create eco-friendly floral arrangements. She'll emphasize the significance of using local and seasonal flowers, reducing waste, and promoting biodiversity. Tara's insights will inspire you to incorporate sustainable practices in your own floral arrangements and appreciate our natural environment.
During the workshop, you'll enjoy light snacks and drinks to keep you energized. The event will take place at Feld and Co., a cozy venue that provides the perfect atmosphere for this interactive and intimate gathering.
