Historical Natural Dyeing on Wool Felt

Three-Day Workshop at HollandFelt, Delft

November 9, 10 & 11, 2026

Join me in Delft for three beautiful days of historical natural dyeing on wool felt, hosted by HollandFelt in their new, wonderfully equipped craft space.

Over the course of this workshop, you will create a rich rainbow of approximately 20 shades on A4-sized wool felt, using classical natural dyes. We are working from the eighteenth-century recipes of the French master dyer Antoine Janot. 

We will work with the traditional dye materials of weld, madder, cochineal, and indigo, building a clear understanding of how historical colors were created and how they can be translated into reliable modern practice. You will learn how to mordant wool felt, calculate recipes, prepare dye baths, control shade strength, adjust color through post-mordanting, create overdyes, and set up an indigo vat.

This is a hands-on workshop for people who want to understand natural dyeing from the inside out. We will not simply “make pretty colors,” (although we absolutely will do that too). We will work directly at the dye pots, testing how colors change in real time. You will see what mordants do, how the strength of a dye bath changes the shade, how over-dyeing opens up a whole new range of colors, and how old recipes can still be used in a modern studio without treating them like museum pieces.

By the end of the three days, you will go home with approximately 20 A4-sized pieces of naturally dyed wool felt, a practical understanding of classical natural dye systems, and usually a set of new friends. 

The Location

The workshop takes place at HollandFelt in Delft, the Netherlands, in their new and beautifully equipped craft space. HollandFelt’s deep knowledge of 100% wool felt makes this collaboration especially exciting: they bring the material expertise, the space and the dye pots, and I bring the historical recipes, experience and myself. 

Wool felt is a wonderful surface for natural dyeing. It is strong, soft, sculptural, and versatile, used for interiors, accessories, design, craft, teaching samples, and art textiles. It also takes color beautifully, showing subtle differences in shade very clearly.

And because HollandFelt has an unusually glorious amount of copper pots available, this will be a very hands-on workshop. There will be plenty of actual dye work to do, and yes, plenty of stirring.

The historical city of Delft itself is a wonderful place to visit: historic canals, old streets, cafés, museums, Delft Blue ceramics, Vermeer history, and that very Dutch combination of beauty, calm, and excellent coffee. If you are traveling in for the workshop, it is well worth giving yourself extra time to enjoy the city before or after class.

During the workshop you will learn:

  • How to mordant wool felt for natural dyeing

  • How to calculate dye and mordant percentages

Broke within an hour of assembly.
Size: 6 Panel-120"W, Color: Beige
This is of horrible quality. Within an hour of building, the feet support were broken on both ends, where they spin in place & do not stay straight to hold the divider up. Pieces of the plastic on the feet were broken simply from assembling the product. The covers for the metal poles were the only reason I bought this divider instead of other similar products, however those only cover one side of the metal poles so they are still visible from the other side. Two of these covers were also torn & not useable within an hour of assembly, one was already partially ripped on arrival & the other one was ripped simply during assembly of the product. I do not recommend this item & would have returned if I was still in the return window. I missed the return window because the product was bought during the holidays & I didn’t have time to mess with the return. I have not been able to use this product even once, the broken feet which do not stay in place make it very unstable & dangerous.

Excellent room divider
Color: Black, Size: 8 Panel
I have three of these from this company! 2 of them are 6 panel and one 8 panel (this one). A+ quality and wonderful with privacy. I have this on my screened in balcony and it withstands the wind pretty well. Fits right behind my giant plant pots. No assembly needed and it was long enough to cover the entire screened area. No more nosy neighbors! Great for Condos! Woohoo!
