Description

Come and explore the fascinating world of natural dyes and how to make a whole rainbow of colours from the trees and flowers all around us. Make your own tree tie dye square, have a go at wheel braiding while the dye pot simmers away and prepare your own solar dye bath to continue the fun at home.

Please use postcode CO10 8NW to reach the Park car park. You will be met at The Old Goods Shed at the beginning of the event.

Ideal for 6-12 year olds.

Please contact volunteer@clarecastlecountrypark.co.uk if:

- You wish to bring children under 6.
- You follow a vegan lifestyle and would prefer to use linen material for dyeing in place of animal products

There are places for 10 children (and accompanying adults) are available for each session. These events are being offered to you FREE as a part of the National Heritage Open Days due to Clare Castle Country Park Trust's National Lottery Heritage Funding.




The Woodland Haberdasher

Based just outside of Bury St Edmunds, The Woodland Haberdasher has always had a great love of all things wild and wonderful that grow from the land. Spending much of her time making, experimenting, reading, walking about and occasionally creating fires in Suffolk, Fay's eyes were opened to a new realm of experimentation and carving.

She enjoys the process of harvesting wild and raw materials and turning them into beautiful yet functional objects that are loved and used every day. An enthusiastic teacher, she has been working in collaboration with Suffolk Wildlife Tryst for the last 5 years, running workshops and talks for the WI, Guiding and other groups.
