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

  • How to prepare and manage natural dye baths

  • How to create lighter and deeper shades from the same dye

  • How post-mordanting changes color

  • How to use overdyeing to create more complex shades

The Epson F170 has been ideal for getting started with sublimation. It's easy to use, prints vibrant and defined colors, and has allowed me to personalize various projects with excellent results. As a beginner, it has given me a lot of confidence to learn and create without complications. I definitely recommend it for anyone starting out in sublimation.

No returns and no support. If it doesn't work properly, too bad.
Style: Printer & Inks, Style: Printer & Inks
I was fairly happy with my Epson ET 2800, but was told that I'd get better colors with the F170. So I bit the bullet. The installation went smoothly and I was printing in short order. It was when I started printing items that had some dark gray that I noticed the problem. It was printing green. I contacted Epson tech support and they answered the phone almost immediately. (And how rare is that??) The woman I spoke with seemed to be familiar with the problem and advised me to modify the printer preferences and change the color correction from "ICM" to "No color correction". Well, it wasn't printing green anymore. Now the grays were brown. At this point, she ran out of ideas and gave me an email address for the second level of tech support and asked if I'd send a photo of the printed fabrics showing the problem. I did. That was over three weeks ago. I've sent a couple of followup emails, but they're ignoring me. But the best news was discovering that there are no returns on this product. I didn't think that was a thing with Amazon and I've never had any problems before. So now the 30-day return window is about to elapse and it appears that I'm stuck with an oversized doorstop. In the photo I'm including with this review, the fabric on the upper-left was printed with my Epson ET 2800. On the upper right, the F170 with ICM color correction. On the bottom, the F170 with no color correction.

Epson SureColor F170 Sublimation Printer Rocks!
Style: Printer & Inks, Style: Printer & Inks
TI’m a newbie at sublimation, and this is my first sublimation printer. I love it! I can’t wait to make more things! I like that it’s not too large, but still can print up to 8.5x14”. The quality seems to be really good, but I also don’t have any other printer to compare it to. This was my very first project! I’m very happy with it so far!
