Nurture your creative soul in a natural dyeing workshop at my home studio in Kaipara. I offer a number of seasonal topics for beginners and the more experienced artist. Experience the wonderful dynamics of being amongst a small group of like-minded creatives in a garden setting. You'll come away with new knowledge, a uniquely dyed item to take home and the possibility of new friends.
