Is there anything more brilliant than a bramble? Here at Painted Fern Studio’s, we don’t believe that there’s many things better. This months Sensational Season’s workshop is designed to bring the best of what late summer has to offer.

We’ll take a wonderous walk along the hedgerow to collect our beautiful bounty. You’ll be guided on how to avoid the prickles & harvest every part of the plant while learning about the benefits of blackberries. We’ll use the leaves to eco print our garments to create the most beautiful prints & dye pot to bring out the beautiful bright colours which can be achieves from these brilliant berries.

After a bountiful banquet of homemade, homegrown & foraged food of course celebrating the best the blackberry has to offer, we’ll transform our dye pot into ink after discovering how adding different PH levels can alter the colours we can achieve.

Our second day will take us into discovering what can be achieved with the bramble stems we foraged the day before. We’ll learn how to extract fibre’s & turn them into cordage as well as using the stems as a whole for a basic weave.

At the end of this weekend workshop, we hope that you will never see the bramble the same way again!
