19th July 2025
Dyeing Day
11:00 am Tataki-zome

Join us for our morning workshop on the Japanese
craft of Tataki-zome, sometimes called
flower hammering or flower pounding.

 

Tataki is the Japanese word for hammering
and zome means dye.

 

The process works by transferring the natural dyes
found in leaves and flowers onto fabric or paper
by gently hammering them onto the surface to
create unique prints that have captured the shapes
and colours of the plants used.

 

Some suggested plants to try are Marigold, Coreopsis,
Sage and Maple Leaf as well as Ferns but you could
also try experimenting with a wider variety of
flowers and leaves from your garden or carefully
foraged from the hedgerow.
