Workshop Schedule 2017
I’ve just updated The Wild Dyery’s EVENTS PAGE with all our live workshops next year. It’s very exciting getting everything planned out but the major event, our exciting new online home study course isn’t included just yet as it’s still under wraps… we’ll announce more next week… not long to wait!
In the meantime, visit the events page for first choice on workshops next year. There will be 6 Indigo Socials, 5 Eco-Colour (formerly called Eco-Spectrum) and 3 Eco-Printing workshops plus our amazing Ayurvastra retreat. Places are limited to 14 for full day workshops and 8 for the evening Indigo Socials so there are only a small number of people who will be able to train with us next year and these places will fill up fast.
If you’d like to gift a workshop to a loved one for Christmas, we can prepare a beautiful ticket so you have something to wrap or put in a card. Just CONTACT US to arrange the perfect gift for the crafty...
AYURVASTRA: The Fabric of Yoga โ a creative retreat exploring sustainable clothing as spiritual practice
SUPER EXCITED to announce this!
The Wild Dyery’s first textile and yoga retreat to beautiful Snowdonia next June! This event just doesn’t exist anywhere else and will explore the creation of sustainable clothing as part of a spiritual practise.
Not only will you get to try natural dyeing, eco-printing and indigo shibori in one weekend but you’ll be totally chilled out at the end due to some delicious yoga practise in this area of outstanding natural beauty.
You’ll leave with your own plant dyed yoga clothing, coloured using locally foraged herbal dyes and the knowledge to continue a natural dye practice at home.
Read more about Ayurvastra and get full details about this trail blazing new event.
N.B. Early booking by cheque is advised to avoid eventbrite fees which are included in the online listing below..

Supporting Community Clothing
I love getting parcels! This one was my reward for pledging to support a Kickstarter campaign for new manufacturers cooperative, Community Clothing.
The cooperative was established by Patrick Grant; Savile Row tailor, 'Great British Sewing Bee' judge and one of my former drinking companions on nights out round Liverpool!
I felt compelled to support this worthwhile initiative because it addresses the injustice of zero hours contracts, overseas slave labour and exploitation within the fashion and textiles industries by creating work for employees in the UK.
The tote is really well made and BIG but to be honest, didn't appeal to my inner bohemian so had to get a dunk in the indigo dye vat.
I may have ruined the utilitarian aesthetic but it made a really good beach bag and sunbathing pillow on my hols in Cala D'Or last week and now has the scent of sun, sea, sand and Malibu factor 6!
Community Clothing have created a small range of great quality items including...
