Thank you so much Sally, I learnt so much and made some fun new friends. I'm really proud of what I achieved and will definitely be doing more textile workshops in the future.

The small class was very conductive to fun conversations we could all share in, both about printing and life in general! Sally creates a great atmosphere in lessons and is generous with the materials and samples.

"Sally allowed us to move at our own pace, checking in regularly as we went. It was great."

"A most enjoyable day spent with a lively and engaging tutor. It was a perfect venue and suited the process. I would definitely do more workshops with Sally again.Thank you Sally for your time and expertise."

"Absolutely loved the session. Sally is hosts a relaxed and friendly tuition style. I would definitely recommend and do a follow-up course with her!"

Join us for a workshop inspired by the beauty of the foliage found on my Houghton property in the Adelaide Hills. The immersive eco-printing workshop is a full day of exploration.

During this hands-on experience, you’ll have the opportunity to explore the natural surroundings of my bush gardens. Together, we’ll forage for suitable leaves and delve into the fascinating world of eco-plant dyeing. You’ll apply these techniques to an ethically sourced silk scarf, which you will take home as your masterpiece.

This process is a magical way of upcycling fabric that diverts clothing from landfill and gives us the chance to connect with nature thus tending to ourselves and the planet at the same time.

Whilst your main piece is bubbling away we will experiment with a few other dyeing options as well as lots of open discussion so you go away with lots of knowledge to continue your dyeing journey.

Secure your spot early and give yourself something to anticipate as our native vegetation bursts into full bloom. This is a lovely opportunity to connect with nature and create something quite stunning.

One scarf is included in the workshop. Additional silk scarf ($20).
