Work within the beautiful arboretum environment. Collect leaves and create unique patterns on fabric. Learn a new creative technique.
Natural pigments have been used for hundreds of years to colour our textiles. In this print based process Liz will guide participants to produce patterned fabric using a selection of leaves gathered from the arboretum. Our unique site is home to thousands of plantings and so offers the perfect space to explore this technique and produce beautiful creative results.
Be inspired by your surroundings as you work alongside Liz as she shares her skills and knowledge over the course of a day.
