An Enthusiasts Introduction to Eco-dyeing is a two-day masterclass for people in Argyll and Bute interested in and enthusiastic about experimenting with the process of printing onto fabric using the natural materials around them.

In this two-day masterclass, artist Laura Aldridge, the enthusiast, will share what she has learnt so far about eco-dyeing in her work and encourage participants' independent experimentation with the process. You will source plants from your local area and the Cove Park site to make a series of tests, recording some of the controlled and uncontrolled variables which directly affect the outcome of the prints. Through experimentation you will build up to dyeing larger pieces of fabric for use in your future art or textile projects
