Learn to grow your own colour!
In this digital download of an online workshop recording from February 2026, Ria guides you through the range of plants that can be grown for plant powered colour, and suggests ways of growing your own dyes that work with the space you have.
Whether you have a windowsill, balcony, garden, allotment or farm, there are plants suitable for everyone to grow. Ria will discuss plant placement, soil and nutrients, as well as sharing dye samples for each plant to show the range of colours that can be achieved.
Ria will also share plans for the second year of growing natural dyes their North Somerset garden, and show how their previous growing spaces have influenced and informed the new space.
Ria has 8 years experience of growing natural dyes for their business and has a Level 2 qualification in Practical Horticulture from the RHS. They are the author of ‘Dyeing Yarn Naturally’, published by the Crowood Press in 2023.
Here’s what some of the attendees have had to say about this workshop:
5/5 - Loved this workshop, I wasn't able to attend on the day, but had access to the recording for a month. I really like the feeling that it was like a chat, while having a good presentation and resource. The wealth of knowledge and the ease of the interactions during the Q&As was very appreciated. Would absolutely recommend.
5/5 - Great presentation, easy ordering, professional support. Recommended!
5/5 - really enjoyed this class. Ria has a lovely delivery tone and is very knowledgeable.
After completing checkout you will be emailed a link to download a Zip file, which contains the video recording (MP4 format) and a PDF of the slides presented. The PDF includes detailed profiles of ten dye plants, plus a list of seed suppliers with clickable links to their websites.
