Biochrome is a naturally occurring substance which imparts colour to the tissues of plants or animals. Plants and animals commonly possess characteristic pigments. They range in plants from those that impart the brilliant hues of many fungi, through those that give rise to the various browns, reds, and greens of species that can synthesize their food from inorganic substances (autotrophs), to the colourful pigments found in the flowers of seed plants.
Botanical bundle dyeing is a natural dyeing method using botanical materials such as leaves, flowers, barks, vegetables & even kitchen waste. Through a process of placing plant materials onto fiber, making little bundles, tying and steaming, it helps to release and transfer nature’s magical colours from plant materials onto the fiber.
At the end of the workshop, you will take home your own unique and creative bundle-dyed silk bandana and an appreciation of other natural dyeing techniques.
All materials will be provided but if you happen to have these botanical dye materials among many others, feel free to bring them along:
– Onion skin – yellow or red
– Turmeric powder or fresh
– Pea flowers & leaves
– Red rose petals
This workshop will be led by Syd of @syiborisyd. Syd hopes to bring awareness of the wonderful and magical colours – biochromes we can derive from plants, giving us the opportunity to reconnect with nature and to revive our senses in a fast-moving world, embracing unpredictability and letting nature do its thing.

Masitah Babjan aka Syd
Syd started her career in a technical field more than 20 years ago and since then her corporate exposure has included areas of Learning & Development, Process Facilitation, Coaching and Management Consulting.
When time permits, she grows and tends to her natural dye garden. She enjoys making wearable art pieces from nature, foraging for botanical materials creating a unique botanical record of that moment in time and place.
A mostly self-taught natural dyer including the blue indigo dye, her plant-dyeing journey started about 4 years ago and is taking her onto new exciting adventures, bringing out her inner creative bohemian soul.
She hopes to revive the art and science of natural botanical dyes to bring more awareness and understanding of what nature can give us with its true and magical colours, building a stronger connection with things we use and wear to create a more sustainable and greener lifestyle.
