The Dye Garden Socials
The Dye Garden Socials began as a series of free monthly events over six months in 2023 during our pilot year of the Dye Garden project curated by Textile Artist/Designer in Residence Laura Spring. The events are a mixture of discussions, talks and practical workshops all designed to inspire, educate and inform audiences about sustainable textiles and working with nature.
Each Dye Garden Social event is free to attend and has been kindly supported by Creative Scotland.
