Today, final preperation is underway for tomorrows Woad dyeing workshops and experiments.
Thanks to Ian Howard at Woad Inc in Norfolk the woad arrived this morning in fresh leaf form, as well as dried Woad balls, the traditional method of preserving woad for dyeing and as powdered pigment.
The Weave students are busy making hanks of yarn which will be soaked overnight ready to dip in the various Dye Vats tomorrow.
Hoping for some interesting results and looking forward to an exciting learning experience for all on this ancient natural dyeing process and everyones posts and comments on the day.
Please remember to bring your cameras to document and capture the event and to share your experiences of the different dye processes.
Fresh Woad leaf, woad balls and jar of pigment.
