We held a day workshop on eco-dyeing at Wyaston in July 2018. The workshop was run by Pam Keeling and was enjoyed very much by the partipants. I went as IT Rep to take photographs and was intrigued by the process. I couldn’t take photos of everything so would be pleased to receive more pictures of the dyed fabrics and any later embellishments.
