One workshop participant said “It was a wonderfully exhilarating and inspiring eco workshop in glorious sunshine.We spent the morning wandering around the grounds taking photos for
inspiration. Then we naturally dyed some cotton with berries and petals, to get
the most amazing colours. Rachel then set up a warp over the bough of a tree
and we wove all sorts of natural wonders as the weft, we even used Harris wool
knitted with twig needles! It was truly inspirational and uplifting!
