Overview

A workshop to learn, share and experiment with natural dyes with a low waste and sustainable outlook.

Join Sunny Jar Eco Hub to discover the joy of dyeing fabric with natural and low waste ingredients. You will experiment and create tie dye designs on fabric samples and dye your own bandana or furoshiki cloth (Japanese craft using square cloths to wrap presents, and pack items like lunch boxes sustainably.)  
At the end of the workshop, you can take your dyed patterned fabric home with you.

If you are able to, please help us by collecting and bringing the following, the more dyestuff we will collect the richer the colour we will obtain! Every little help!
Onion skins (The dry outer skin only, yellow or red). Avocado skin and pits (you can keep yours in the freezer until you need them).Old or out of date spices like turmeric.
