Demonstrations of dyeing will be taking place in this session, with two different techniques being introduced. One will show how the dyes are mixed to achieve colour matches, which is a technique used by conservationists, and the other will experiment with indigo, which changes colour when exposed to oxygen.
Ahead of this drop in session there is also a bookable Conservator talk ‘Colourful Past a Bright Future: an exploration of historical dyeing and its impact on conservation’ taking place. Find out more here.
