MAKE IT, DYE IT & WEAR IT — YOUR OWN HANDMADE WRAP SKIRT
 
Discover the joy of creating something by hand. In one day you’ll get the time and space to explore each step of the process and create your own handmade wrap skirt with care and attention. From the first cut of fabric to the final natural coloring. A creative journey to make something truly your own.
 
This is a Level 1 (beginner) workshop, so little to no basic sewing skills is needed.
___
DESIGN & SEW
Learn the essentials of garment making, from taking your measurements and drafting a pattern to cutting, sewing and finishing your piece.
 
You’ll create your own basic skirt design, with the option to personalise details and adjust the fit to your measurements, depending on your experience and the workshop timeframe.
 
NATURAL DYEING
After the lunchbreak, we will bring your skirt to life with natural dyes and make it truly one of a kind. Explore the art of natural dyeing and discover how plants, mordants and pH modifiers create beautiful colours and shades.
 
While your wrap skirt is prepared in a mordant bath, you’ll experiment with Japanese Shibori techniques to create unique patterns. Then, apply your chosen technique to your garment and watch the colours unfold.
 
FABRICS
1.5 metres of handwoven Kala cotton is included. Additional fabric or alternative organic materials, such as hemp or lotus silk, can be purchased by the metre. Prices vary depending on the fabric.
