As a writer, textile artist and botanist Caroline Hyde-Brown's work fuses artistry, botany and inquiry. Her practice is attuned to the language of materials. Join her during this workshop in an exploration of the cycles of growth, decay, and transformation through colour coaxed from the natural world.

Discover how her studio practice feels like collaboration rather than control—an ongoing conversation between plant, hand, and time. During this workshop she will open the doors to the world of true colour, where fabrics are bound with patience, pigment and over dying. Fermentation, natural plant tannins and mordants will be explored as these colours slowly ripen through experimentation, and the intimacy of observation becomes a creative act in itself.

Go home with recipes, lots of hints and tricks as well as samples of colour with protein and cellulose fibres, as well as your own research notes to experiment with.
