Hi friend, Before anything else, just a quick note to say that today is the final day to join The Natural Dye Rainbow with 40% off. You can use the code FOREST40 to get 40% off before midnight (GMT) tonight. Now, a little behind-the-scenes moment… I did something a bit scary (for me) last week. I’d been dreaming up the idea for this course for a few years, and I finally brought it to life over the past few weeks. Then I opened the doors last Monday and gently invited people in — half...

Hi friend, A few people have asked whether I’ll be running The Natural Dye Rainbow again, because they don’t have the time to start right now. The course itself isn’t going anywhere — once you’re enrolled, it’s yours for life. All of the lessons are fully pre-recorded, so you can watch them whenever you’re ready, with no schedule to keep up with. What is ending is the 40% discount. If you’d like to join at the reduced price, you’ll need to enrol by Monday, using the coupon code FOREST40....

Hi friend, On Monday I opened the doors to my new course called The Natural Dye Rainbow (you can still get 40% off using the code FOREST40 - it ends on Monday). It got me thinking about the history of where dyes come from — something that’s been turning over in my mind while recording the videos. For most of history, all colour came from natural sources. Every pink, red, orange, yellow, green, blue and purple on cloth was made from plants, minerals, or insects gathered from the world around...

Hi friend, On Monday I opened the doors to a new course that I’ve been dreaming up for a long time, called The Natural Dye Rainbow.

For this week only, I'm offering 40% off The Natural Dye Rainbow. Just enter the code FOREST40 at checkout (the special price ends on Monday 9 Feb). This course focuses on three dyes that have been used for...

Hi friend, I hope you had a good weekend. Mine was spent at the playground with the children (it was a bit rainy, but they didn’t mind), and pottering around the house. I’m now settled down at my laptop writing to you, with a cup of my ever-favourite oat straw tea beside me. I'm so excited to tell you that The Natural Dye Rainbow is now live — my brand new course all about creating a full rainbow of colours using just three traditional dyes: madder root, weld flowers and indigo pigment. It’s...

Hi friend, I wanted to share a little peek behind the scenes of something I’ve been quietly working on for a few months. On Monday, I’m releasing a new course called The Natural Dye Rainbow — and it’s all about creating a full spectrum of colours using just three traditional dyes: madder ❤️ weld 💛 and indigo 🩵 I still find it incredible that you can get reds, pinks, oranges, yellows, greens, blues and purples from such a tiny handful of plants. But that’s the magic of layering and overdyeing....

Hi friend, I’ve just finished editing the final two videos for my soon-to-launch Natural Dye Rainbow course, and it feels so good knowing it’s finally done. I've been dreaming this up for a few years. The whole course is about creating a natural dye rainbow using just three traditional dyes — madder, weld and indigo. It still astounds me that all of these colours are possible simply by overlapping them in different ways. You can join the waitlist here. 🌈 One of my plans for this year is to...

Hi friend, Still barely any snow here!! We had a slight dusting a couple of days ago and the children managed to make the world's tiniest snowball (about 2cm big) 😅 Over the past few weeks, I've been secretly working on a special project that I’m finally ready to share with you. This idea has been in my notebook for years, and it just felt like the right time to bring it to life. It's actually a video course on how to create a full rainbow of colour using just three traditional dye plants: ✨...
