An introduction to Natural Dyeing workshop

Botanical Colour

Natural Dyeing Workshop

Join multi-disciplinary artist Nastasha Sale for an immersive Natural Dyeing Workshop in collaboration with Design Afrika, held in the beautiful Design Afrika showroom in Woodstock.

This hands-on workshop introduces the fundamentals of natural dyeing using organic plant waste and flowers, revealing how botanical materials can be transformed into rich, colourfast dyes. Designed as both a standalone experience and a natural follow-up to eco-printing, this workshop gently expands your botanical colour skills.

You will learn:

• Which plants and flowers produce strong, colourfast natural dyes
• How to extract and work with plant-based dyes
• How to use botanical inks and mineral modifiers to shift and enhance colour
• Basic techniques for applying natural colour to fabric and paper

During the session, you will receive a naturally dyed tote 100% cotton bag, that you get to personalise using botanical inks and mineral modifiers.

You’ll also experiment with natural colour on paper and experience the magic of colour shifting in real time.

Each participant receives a take-home workbook covering the basics of natural dyeing to continue experimenting at home.

Your ticket includes:

• All materials
• A naturally dyed cotton tote bag
• A printed natural dyeing workbook
• Snacks and beverages
• Personal guidance in a relaxed, small-group setting

This is a beginner-friendly, family-friendly workshop.

No artistic experience required — just curiosity for colour and nature.

Spaces are limited. Book early to avoid missing out.
