**** Deadline for questions is 1st April, sign up is anytime during April, if you have missed a session or sign up too close for us to send the link you will receive all the recordings ****

6 live Q & A sessions offering you the opportunity to pose your most burning questions to an amazing line up of natural dyers and botanical printers. Not workshops but privileged access to 6 individuals who are highly regarded in their field.

Whether you’re a beginner with a very basic question or someone with more experience and a niggle you can’t quite get your head round no question is too “silly” we want them all!
