Natural Dyes Workshop with Niki Taylor

Using natural dyes from food waste and plants inspired by those found along the Renfrewshire cycle track, you can create your own samples and colour using reclaimed and upcycled fabrics, learning how to dye and create pattern through this natural process. The workshop is an informal and relaxed outdoor workshop inspired by nature.
