Please note that registrations for the workshops are booked out. While the workshops are booked out, we can accommodate some drop-in participation. If you’re walking past, or want to try your luck, just pop in and we will do our best to find space for you.

Learn the art of natural dyeing and make your own mini textile masterpiece at this artist-led drop-in workshop in the Test Garden these school holidays.

Kids (and their grown-ups!) will join natural dye specialist Heather Thomas from the Australian Tapestry Workshop to discover the wonder of resist-dyeing.

Fold, tie and scrunch your fabric, then dunk it into the indigo vat and watch as your stunning patterns appear like magic.

Everything’s provided – just bring your imagination and be ready to get a little messy!

Key event info

  • For children aged 3+ and their guardians
  • The dye is made with natural ingredients: indigo pigment, fructose, lime and water
  • Drop in and take home your very own indigo masterpiece
