I can't begin to tell you how much fun it is to teach natural dye to uni students. So many of them have become so excited by the potential and possibilities of natural dye. #naturalfibers #naturalfibres #slowtextiles #naturaldye #utsfashion #studentwork (at UTS: Design, Architecture & Building)

Student natural dye journals. What beautiful bright reds can be achieved naturally. I am so looking forward to exploring and teaching natural dye to a whole new year group at university.
