Talk:CREU Conversations: Meet the Gardener

Last few tickets left!

Join Susan Martin, gardener of the National Wool Museum's Natural Dye Garden and discover how plants have been used for centuries to create a stunning range of natural colours for dyeing yarn.

Discover the fascinating links between plants, colours, textiles and traditional skills. Explore plants used in textile production, including teasels, and see flax grown for spinning linen yarn. You will also have the opportunity to see last year's flax crop being processed to release its fibres and even have a go at using the flax brake yourself.

Gain an insight into the  plants, processes and traditional skills behind textile production.

The talk will be held in English.

Ages 18+
