With:

In this workshop the artist will guide you step-by-step on how to dye wool (animal fibre) using the leaves and stems of Japanese Knotweed. The wool is from Dutch sheep who actually eat Japanese Knotweed. Several techniques developed by Lucie will be applied to create a colour palette of five to ten colours during the workshop.
