Botanical dyeing and stitching

Siân Lester is a West Wales based textile artist and educator whose nature-based practice is focused on botanical dyes, Welsh heritage, and sustainable ethos. Siân will take you through a relaxing stitching session using simple and effective techniques with naturally dyed wool felt to create your own mini textile artwork. There will be a small dye pot where you will have the opportunity to immerse some extra pieces of felt to take home with you.
