Having first hand experience with natural colours and dye materials I have benefitted from the healing and nurturing aspects to the unique and vast array of colours and emotions that natural colour can create. The [property will play host as a Botanical dye retreat and community hub for sustainable art practice and therapeutic interaction with nature and natural colour. Allowing for people to reconnect with nature, nurture a sustainable art practice, experience a form of therapeutic release through artistic expression and form a personal relationship with nature and natural colour.
