​BOTANICAL COLOUR & EMBROIDERY

New dates coming soon

workshop_object5.jpg

In this workshop plants become your travel companions across fabric and thread. Their colours and shapes move through your hands, leaving traces as they pass from nature into textile. Over four hours, you will explore the world of botanical colour through eco printing and hand embroidery.

Part One - Eco Printing

We begin with an introduction to botanical colour and dye plants. You will experiment with fresh and dried plants to create your eco-printed fabric - a unique imprint of nature’s palette.
 

Part Two - Stitching with Botanical Colour

Next, you’ll create a small textile piece using your eco print as the starting point. You will work with botanically dyed wool and silk fibres, threads, and small wooden beads. Dora will demonstrate a variety of embroidery techniques and offer guidance on combining colours, textures, and materials. Working at your own pace, you will use your intuition and the subtle beauty of plant-based colours to craft a miniature textile artwork. 

At the end of the workshop, you’ll take home your embroidered piece and eco-printed fabric - a personal record of your time with the plants.

Workshop

​PRINT & STITCH

New dates coming soon

In this workshop, plants become travellers across fabric and thread — not through botanical colour, but through their shapes, textures, and the playful marks they leave behind. Using textile paints and fresh plant materials, you’ll explore how nature can move through your hands into print and stitch.

Part One - Printing with Plants (Textile Paints)

You’ll begin by learning the technique of monoprinting on fabric using plants as natural stamps. The focus is on expressive, painterly, and graphic impressions created by leaves, stems, and petals.
The process is direct, intuitive, and full of small surprises.

​​​

Part Two - Stitching the Print

​​​In the second half, you’ll shift from printing to threadwork. Using simple embroidery stitches, you’ll respond to your print by adding texture, detail, and rhythm. Whether you’re completely new to embroidery or already familiar with the basics, Dora will guide you step by step.

Working at your own pace, you’ll combine print and stitch to create a small textile piece where the plant’s journey continues — from form, to paint, to thread.

​

At the end of the workshop, you’ll take home a unique piece where paint, plant shapes, and stitch come together — a small record of your creative dialogue with nature.

Workshop
BOTANICAL GEL PLATE PRINTING 

New dates coming soon

gel_printing4.jpg

In this workshop, plants become travellers across paper — carrying their shapes, veins, and textures into layered prints. Using a gel plate, acrylic paint, and fresh plant materials, you’ll explore how nature leaves its traces as it moves through your hands into image.

Part One - Introduction to Gel Printing

You’ll learn the basics of working with a gel plate, acrylic paint, and fresh plant materials. By pressing leaves and stems onto the paint, you’ll create crisp, detailed botanical impressions on different kinds of paper.
 

Part Two - Building Layers

As you continue, you’ll experiment with colour, layering, and composition. Gel printing is a playful and intuitive technique — full of small surprises — revealing textures and details that often go unnoticed in daily life.

At the end of the workshop, you’ll take home a set of your own botanical prints: a collection of impressions made with the plants that travelled with you across the page.
