Growing Colour Together: CPD for teachers – setting up your colour garden

In this CPD session for teachers, taking place over Zoom, natural dye expert Jane Howroyd will advise you on how to set up a colour garden at your school and use its harvest for curriculum-linked workshops.

This session is open to all teachers interested in starting their own colour garden at their school, not just those already part of the Growing Colour Together seed funding programme.

The session will include:

• exploration of dye plant options
• different dyeing methods
• classroom activity and workshop ideas
• curriculum links
• a Q&A section for further advice from Jane.

The session will take place on Zoom: a link will be sent to all participants on the run up to the event.
