Ulster Guild Natural dyeing workshop |
|
|
A warm welcome greeted us in Belfast recently where the Ulster Guild of Weavers, Spinners & Dyers had invited us to run a two day natural dyeing workshop using Earthues natural dye extracts and our own new Hue & Dye natural dye extracts. The delightful venue for the workshop was the Ulster Folk Museum. With lots of hands-on activities and demonstrations going on in reconstructed shops, streets and houses at the museum, members are used to people thinking they are "exhibits" and we had quite a few curious looks and enquiries from visitors! As Pete patiently sorted a kaleidoscope of yarns onto sample cards, Debbie made sure skeins and fibres were emerging from pots at a rapid rate and the variety of colours was amazing. There were fibres and yarns from all corners of the world: linen, bamboo, soy, wool, camel, silk and more. One of the most exciting thing about running a workshop is seeing everyone's individual styles and colour combinations and there were some inspirational examples over the weekend.
