Making Natural Dye Colour

Over the summer I have been growing dye plants and writing a new Skills Hub micro-course on Making Natural Dye Colour. Keep an eye out for it when more micro-courses are released. In the meantime check out the very summarised version which has been on the Arts, The Environment and Sustainability course on the VLE for a while.


I tested my dyed yarns with crochet squares but the dyed yarn or fabric can be used for multiple art and design projects. Here's a few snapshots from the micro-course.


I will let you know when it is available.
