Lucinda Weis reviewed: Natural dyeing course in Pembrokeshire

"The course was wonderful. We felt like alchemists or witches as we toiled over saucepans filled with boiling concoctions made from freshly foraged plants! It was incredible to see the different colours emerging on the different yarns. Susan was fantastic. Her instructions and guidance were clear and she was very patient! She was very generous with her ideas and support. Definitely to be recommended. "

Susan Martin responded:

"I’m delighted you enjoyed the experience. Have fun with the samples you made and I hope the fleece felts well. "

Marysia Penn reviewed: Natural dyeing course in Pembrokeshire

"Excellently, organised and informative course. We were encouraged to forage for materials, supplemented by tutor provided supplies. We experimented with a wide range of dye plants, mordants and supplementary treatments to produce yarn samples on wool, cotton, fleece and regenerated cotton. Eco-printing was yet more fun, creating direct contact print samples on paper, cotton, linen and wool. All techniques were supported by explanatory notes, discussion and references. Not to mention the homemade cake, tea and coffee! THANK YOU."

Susan Martin responded:

"Thank you Marysia. Glad you enjoyed the course and thank you for input on plants and textile techniques. "

"Excellent weekend; a lot to take in but it all came together over the course of the two days. I came away with confidence that I could use the techniques and inspired by the great samples we produced and took home. Susan is an excellent teacher and responded really well to all questions and student input. Thank you again."

Kate reviewed: Natural dyeing course in Pembrokeshire

"This course was a retirement gift from my colleagues and it was perfect! They also gave me a book on plant dyeing so I had dabbled a bit but with variable success. Susan is an excellent teacher and answered all my questions and more. I attended with my sister and we had a wonderful weekend."

Susan Martin responded:

"That's great. Pleased to get you started with natural dyeing. Enjoy."
