I'm SO excited to announce that after years of research, experimentation, planning and mind-bending web development The Wild Dyery's NEW online training launches TODAY!

Registration is now open for a select number of 'Beta' test students who will not only benefit from being the first in the world to take this groundbreaking course but will do so with a HUGE DISCOUNT.

During our first round of classes we are offering a massive 20-30% discount off our full price to a limited number of participants. Our workshops have been tried and tested during face to face events but our beta students will help us ensure they translate seamlessly into a digital format.

India Flint is a world renowned textile artist from Australia, famous for her discovery of the eucalyptus leaf eco-printing technique.

Welcome to this new site dedicated to the celebration of botanical colour, natural dyeing and the beautiful arts and crafts created using these ancient, sustainable techniques.

My name is Justine Aldersey-Williams. I'm a surface pattern and textile designer specialising in wild dyeing. During my recent MA studies, I realised that there didn't seem to be a central place online that galvanised and promoted plant-based textile dyeing, so I decided to create one!

This site is in its infancy but intends to feature artists and designers using organic dyes in their work, along with listing forthcoming events and resources. I already have a number of inspirational people lined up to interview in 2015, so do follow this blog using Bloglovin and join our Facebook group for discussions and suggestions.
