Every plant gives some kind of colour, depending on how it is processed. This class will embrace a number of methods for colour extraction as well as protocols for plant collection and plant identification.
Participants will explore country through writing, drawing, stitch and dye; taking mindful windfall walks, mapping marks, observing and responding to the essence of the land.
During the week we will dye silk and wool, using windfall leaves from the fields and forests and construct a series of small leaf-illustrated textile notebooks that will be both maps of the journey taken and documents recording the week’s explorations.
We will work with plant dyes, stitch, paper and cloth.
