We will forage for materials in my very Australian Indooroopilly back yard
We will soak garments in a mordant
We will experiment with folding techniques for different finishes or just go with the flow
We will use Tumeric or Avocado if you want a yellow or pink hue
You can take your garment or piece of fabric home soaking in the dye for a deeper dye

We will have some quick drinks and nibbles
Its a day for you to learn some new tricks but mainly for you to take some time for yourself.
The experience will be quite immersive .
