Talk by Linda Rudkin–Colours from Nature–Saturday 14th June.

Linda gave a fascinating talk on how she has developed, through experimentation, a vast range of depth in colour dyeing using natural materials found in her garden or local hedgerows. 
Her talk was backed up by a wonderful display of sample boards showing each dye method using a variety of mordants.

The piece below is her first piece, in the form of a ‘Box Lid’ created for her City & Guilds work.

Linda also showed some pieces using the flower pounding method which she would be demonstrating for members on the Sunday workshop.  We look forward to see the results of their day.
