Margaret Doherty works at Ruskin Mill, Nailsworth. She has a lifetime's experience in textiles and in using natural dyes. She is planning a series of dye workshops in May and June and is keen that the word gets about. We are keen to support her, both as a member of the Trust and because she has promised to donate a part of her income to the Trust. Ruskin Mill is an old mill in most beautiful surroundings - a millpond, woods and a steep-sided valley. Margaret's workshop is a kaleidoscope of colours as befits this dedicated teacher and widely experienced textile worker. This is a wonderful opportunity to make your own colour. Contact Margaret on 01453 833320 |
