Ashleigh Ellis is passionate about working with natural materials and reclaiming our place in ecology through life affirming practices. She has facilitated art and textile workshops since 2010, and teaches processes using natural materials, including natural dyes and dye plants, eco printing and botanical printing, ink making, cyan-o-type, drawing, and nature journaling to name a few. Gardening and respectful foraging are two important aspects of her practice. For the last two years she has run #TheNaturalDyeProjectCork growing dye plants with communities, focusing on plants which provide habit and food for pollinators. The historical know-how and relationship with these plants are of immense interest to her and inform her workshops and sharing of skills.
