Learn to create a world of colour using natural dyes with Churchill Fellow, Heather Thomas!

In this two-day workshop, you will create a rainbow pallet using three traditional plant dyes: indigo, madder and woad.

You will layer shades of colour at different strengths on cotton handkerchiefs to create 25 colours.

At the end of the workshop, you will be able to take your dyed handkerchiefs home with you.

Across Victoria’s Midwest, we acknowledge that we travel across the ancient landscapes of many First Peoples communities.

These lands have been nurtured and cared for over tens of thousands of years and we respect the work of Traditional Custodians for their ongoing care and protection.

We recognise the past injustices against Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in this country. As our knowledge grows, we hope that we can learn from their resilience and creativity that has guided them for over 60,000 years.

As we invite people to visit and explore Victoria’s Midwest, we ask that alongside us, you also grow to respect the stories, living culture and connection to Country of the Ancestors and Elders of our First Peoples.
