Dye With Flowers + Fresh Indigo

learn four beautiful dye techniques

enroll now for £47
Imagine if…

you could dye your clothes with homegrown plants?

I know that natural dyeing can feel intimidating at the beginning and you can have disappointing results.

Does this sound Familiar? —

  • You’re not sure which flowers you can use for natural dyeing
  • You’re put off by the thought of needing lots of special equipment
  • You don’t have much space for doing projects

It doesn’t have to be complicated. I’m here to show you how simple natural dyeing really is.

Just imagine if you could:

1

Dye your own clothes & fabric

Make beautiful patterns on cloth with your homegrown flowers and indigo leaves. Natural dyes are alive; the hues are beautifully subtle.

2

Connect with nature

Every piece of fabric that you dye with wild or homegrown plants is a unique creation and a reflection of the natural world around you.

3

Start a relaxing new hobby

Natural dyeing encourages mindfulness and is a wonderful way to be creative. You could even share your new skills with friends or family and host a craft party!

Here’s the thing

I promise you that natural dyeing is simpler than you think. I have so many secrets to share with you so you can avoid the overwhelm and feel confident.

My speciality is to make natural dyeing stress-free & fun!

The videos are really engaging, inspiring and easy to follow. I really appreciate that it takes me through the whole process of preparing the fabric, dyeing the fabric and then caring for it afterwards. I am particularly excited to bundle dye a t-shirt and I’m really hoping to dye with indigo this year.

Every summer, I study the blooms in my garden wishing they could stay all year long. Rebecca’s course made that possible and I cannot thank her enough!

She clearly demonstrates every step of the process and made it easy to understand. I’m such a visual person – those videos really helped me to understand the steps. I’m excited to bring all the color from this summer’s garden into my home with all my new dyed pieces. Thank you Rebecca!

This course has inspired me to have a go at growing and dyeing with my own indigo. I loved the video workshops, they are so easy and relaxing to follow and the written information will be so handy to go back to again and again.

As someone who has been naturally dyeing for a few years already, I learnt some new techniques and I am looking forward to honing my mordanting techniques after learning about all the different options in an easy to follow format.

The Facebook group is such an invaluable resource too!

Another brilliant resource from Rebecca, thank you!

Meet your instructor

Hi, I’m Rebecca!

I’ve been dyeing with plants for a decade and I love to empower others to get started with this craft.

I wrote a book called Grow Your Own Colour where I show you how to start a dye garden. In the book, I share various projects for your homegrown colour.

I decided to bring the book to life and turned four of my favourite projects into videos for you, which you can find in this course!

Every summer, I’m asked several times a week, “How can I get started with bundle dyeing?!” Well, this video course gives you everything you need to know to begin right away – and lots more!

Join me in my studio where I show you how to dye with garden plants. I hope these videos inspire you to grow your own colour and dye with your plants!

“Flowers always make people better, happier, and more helpful; they are sunshine, food and medicine to the mind.”

– Luther Burbank
