Would you like to learn how to become a Natural Artist? Create print-worthy nature journal pages on cloth and paper, with botanical dyes and natural inks.
If you’re looking for inspiration from nature, colours, plants and the seasons, you’re in the right place.
It can feel like there is a daunting amount of information on natural dyeing and botanical art making it hard to know where to start, and with what!
I felt the same when I first started out.
By following a few simple steps, and tried and tested methods, you can produce great results. That’s why with the Nature Journal membership everything is done at a slow pace, with easy-to-follow quarterly Study Notes, monthyl meet ups, the foundations of botanical dyeing, natural ink making and nature journalling at your fingertips.
I DON'T KNOW WHERE TO START
I DON'T HAVE MUCH TIME!
I DON'T HAVE THE RIGHT EQUIPMENT
Inspiration and creativity at your fingertips!
From food waste to foraging, and textiles to tie-dye, this is one colour community you will love to be a part of.
YOU WANT TO BE CREATIVE BUT NEED GUIDANCE
This subscription encourages you to find your creative outlet, providing the information, resources and support you need to explore and experiment at your own pace.
YOU WILL LEARN THE FOUNDATIONS OF NATURAL DYEING
You’ll master some simple core processes, such as scouring and mordanting fibres and creating a dye bath, so that you can continue your journey in natural dyeing.
YOU WILL GET ADDICTED!
Anyone can do this, and the joy of making colour from natural materials and plants is very satisfying.
THIS IS WHY I’VE PUT TOGETHER
The Nature Journal Membership
This is your time to step back and enjoy a mindful craft activity that enhances your connection with nature. You’ll develop a deep appreciation for the landscape in which we live, and how we can reflect this through botanical colour and textiles.
“It was like opening a book of spells at a Magical Academy – I loved the beautiful finishing touches to the kit and study notes.”

AN INCREDIBLE EXPERIENCE
“Opening my subscription Study Notes was like looking into a tome of spells as a student at a magic academy!”
Here’s what people are saying
“I am looking forward to having a go at the bundle dyeing and like the fact that you give an alternative option to the steamer (as I don’t have one!) and I love the fact you have pre-mordanted the fabric too!”
“I’m beyond thrilled. This course has enabled me to create natural colors I never thought possible. It’s given me so much confidence and inspiration. My botanical dyeing journey has just begun and I couldn’t have found a better place to start..”
“I found the Nature Journal inspiring, it’s a way of noticing what’s in front of you in terms of colour, smell and wildlife. It doesn’t have to take very long , just 5 minutes every day can make you feel less anxious and cut out those thoughts that make you feel stressed. You can breathe”
“The subscription is informative and interesting. It makes it so much easier to have information in one place so you don’t disappear down a google black hole!.”
“It encourages you to enjoy nature in a variety of ways which does not mean you have to be a great artist but it helps consolidate thoughts and emotions as well, thank you for introducing me to this subject.”
“Creative and informative and there was no pressure to do this, that and the other . The beauty of it is that you can return to the information and workshops time and time again and repeat the whole exercise whenever you wish and tailor make it to fit your schedule . .”

LET’S TALK
I’m Sian and I love producing colour from nature.
A warm welcome from me! I’m going to introduce you to the wonderful world of dyeing with plants.
With a family history in textiles, it’s no surprise to find me working with cottons and silks every single day… although I didn’t know the full extent of this history when I started out. I just knew I was in the right place.
And I hope you will too, once you get started.
There is something very satisfying and soulful about producing colour from nature. My journey as a botanical dyer has led me on an adventure in colour over the last 10 years, born from a love of textiles, colour and the environment – and a desire to create something unique.
My plant-dyed ribbons have been featured in the Universal Films costume drama ‘Emma’, in weddings and events around the world, and in MAKE: Cornwall book.
30 Day Satisfaction Guarantee
We want you to love your course and get amazing results.
If you don’t feel that our courses can help you transform your business, or develop your own passion for plant based dyeing, then let us know and we’ll refund your purchase. No questions asked. I’m sure you’ll be delighted though!
