🌿 FIBRE & FLORA: THE FULL JOURNEY

A six-month creative and botanical path from winter’s fibre to midsummer’s cloth.

Overview

Fibre & Flora is a six-month seasonal journey through fibre, plant colour, simple weaving, natural dyeing and botanical cloth.
We move gently from the quiet grounding of winter into the colour, expression and embodied creativity of early summer.

Across five gatherings, you’ll explore:

• weaving with natural fibres

• plant dyes + botanical colour

• botanical printing on wearable cotton

• creative handwork + natural textures

• making a final botanical cloth to wear or use

This is a held, small-group journey designed to be spacious, nurturing and deeply sensory.

🌼 What’s Included

• 5 in-person seasonal workshops (1 half-day + 4 full-day sessions)

• All materials (fibres, natural yarns, botanicals, cotton garments, tools)

• A curated seasonal palette for dyeing + printing

• Guidance in weaving, natural dyeing, botanical printing + creative techniques

• Tea, snacks + homemade lunch on full-day sessions

• Seasonal grounding + simple reflective rituals

• A finished botanical cloth or wearable piece

• 3 woven wall hangings created across the journey

• Naturally dyed yarn to weave additional wall hangings at home

• A small group (max 6 women) in a warm, peaceful studio setting

• Ongoing support between sessions (optional WhatsApp group)

🌿 Programme Connection

This workshop is part ofFibre & Flora, a six-month creative path moving from winter’s grounding in fibre to midsummer’s botanical cloth.
Through weaving, natural dyeing and botanical printing, you’ll explore fibre, colour and nature-led expression in a gentle, seasonal arc.

🌼 Location

All sessions are held in the peaceful setting of my home in Thurlestone, on the South Devon coast — between Salcombe and Bigbury, and around 30 minutes from Totnes.
It’s a place where the pace naturally softens and creativity feels at home.

The group is limited to 6 women, allowing for spaciousness, support, and the quiet magic that happens in small circles.
