BOTANICAL SILK DYE
Grace leads hands-on Botanical Silk Dye workshops, where participants learn about natural dyes extracted from kitchen waste, plants, and flowers, including how to extract colour and mordant fabric. The session explores traditional botanical bundle dye methods using steam to create unique patterns on silk. Over the workshop, participants dye their own silk scarf, with a strong focus on eco-friendly practices and minimising waste.

FESTIVE SEASON SPECIAL
Grace leads a hands-on, festive workshop in traditional Ebru marbling, a centuries-old and endangered craft. She uses seaweed extract within this over 500-year-old technique, combining heritage practice with sustainable materials. Over 90 minutes, participants learn the rich history of Ebru marbling and explore several comb designs, hand-marbling three ceramic baubles, which they varnish and tie with ribbon, ready to take home to display or gift. Through experimenting with colour and pattern, each person creates unique, lasting pieces while helping keep this traditional art alive.
"We really enjoyed the workshop making 3 marbled baubles. Grace was a great teacher and made it a really fun evening. We were both very happy with how our baubles looked"
"Grace's marbling workshop was excellent! We learnt so much, had a great time and took away some beautiful baubles"
"We thoroughly enjoyed having Grace host her Natural Dye workshop with us. Grace is an engaging teacher who clearly loves what she does. We look forward to collaborating with her more in the future!"
