Botanical Dyeing (Child Working With An Adult) with Annick Akanni

Course Sold Out

A fun class for kids and adults to do together! Join Annick Akanni for an exploratory day out in FAC grounds, foraging natural materials to turn into dyes with Annick's guidance, and making simple prints in our Silkscreen studio to take home with you.

A great introduction to the natural dyes in the world around us and simple print making processes that you can replicate at home!
