I had a wonderful five days at the workshop organised by SouthWest TAFE and led by India Flint – learning how to colour cloth with ecologically sustainable dyes from plants.
India is a r(eco)fashion designer, writer, feltmaker, cloth colourist & costumiere.
Jill was there.
Rocky and Sue also.
And Judy as well. Judy teaches textile subjects at SouthWest TAFE.
We went in search of plants. We felted. We experimented. We watched pots boil. We got excited about opening bundles of cloth.

Hi Lesley
Wow, it looks like you had a great time learning eco-colour. It looks much better than my two day workshop, wish I had been able to come. And you have also been doing some felt workshops, thats great. I have not taken any workshops here for the past 12 months due to my back not being so good. So pleased that you have had the opportunities to learn with the best. I wonder if you will be addicted to felt and dyeing like I am. xt
