WHAT'S NEW AT W&M?
Spring Time in Worcestershire
Spring has sprung. Lambs are arriving here at Wild and Madder as we are busy processing our fleece from last year. Having mastered an antique spinning wheel and created fabulous woven items using a rigid heddle loom, we are feeling inspired to integrate natural dyes into the process this year and share them with you here before next autumn.
In the meantime, our fabric and oak gall stocks are dwindling as we, and our loyal followers, use them to create inks, home accessories and fashion items that bring natural colour to life.
BRINGING NATURAL COLOUR TO LIFE
Childrens natural craft workshops
Teaching is both an occupation and an addiction. Wild and I love facilitating learning in the classroom, but we also enjoy getting out and about. Where other teachers count down to school holidays for a jolly good rest, we look forward to the opportunity to design and deliver inspiring children's courses using natural resources, creative skills and even a little bit of scientific magic.
Popular courses to date have included:
-
Indigo dyeing.
-
Charcoal production, drawing and marshmallow toasting.
-
Making natural inks and using them for calligraphy.
This year we are planning more exciting courses - perfect for all abilities ranging from young enthusiasts to art scholars.
BRINGING NATURAL COLOUR TO LIFE
Autumn shows us how beautiful it is to let things go - unknown.
The writer of those words may be "unknown" but they are certainly very wise indeed:
As the vibrant greens in nature fade, the plethora of oranges, yellows, reds, and golds leave us in rapture.
Not to mention the plentiful harvest of ink-making materials and time... the time to come inside to brew, play, plan, stitch and create using this season's colour and those we harvested in the hazy days of summer.
