Using dyes from plants, flower and vegetables
Discover a whole new use for the plants and flowers from your garden and even the vegetables from your kitchen. Angela shows you some of the results from everyday items. For example, daffodils, tulips, onion skips and rosehips, that give her fabrics that ‘special’ color.
There is a degree of unpredictability as to the color derived from these plants and vegetables but Angela feels that this is part of the joy of her work. You will see how red tulips give her green fabric!

Angela runs the Fenland Textile Studio which is based at Unique Cottage Studios in Spalding, Lincolnshire.
