module 1: colour

Module 1 gives you the core skills necessary to practise natural fabric dyeing safely and successfully as either a hobby or profession. There’s a rich mix of fascinating historical information to contextualise your study along with inspiration from industry professionals and super clear video tutorials.

You’ll discover the secret to colour and light fastness whilst creating a rainbow of fabric dyes from just three plants. You’ll play with ancient Japanese Shibori patterning techniques before working on a final project.

As part of our private facebook community of international students, you’ll have a network of friends to support and inspire you. Together, we can raise both standards and awareness of sustainable colour, making a real difference to the health and wellbeing of ourselves and the planet.

You'll experience not only the pure joy of finding hidden colour treasures within plants but also will develop colour mixing fluency, patterning skills and a thorough understanding of the heritage of this craft.
