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.

  • How to mordant wool felt for natural dyeing

Good for maintaining clean beard lines
I keep my beard trimmed, but I always have to clean up the edges along my neckline to keep it looking neat. Lately, I've been massaging a few drops of this natural oil into my neck on Tuesday mornings right after I finish shaving at the sink. It feels really soothing on freshly shaved skin, kind of acting like a light daily moisturizer. The bottle is only 1.85 ounces, but you only need a tiny dab to cover a small area so it should last a while. Over the last month, the stubble along my collar line definitely feels softer, and it takes an extra day or two before it starts looking messy again. If you trim your own facial hair and want to stretch out the time between touching up your neck or cheek lines, this is handy to keep by the mirror.

Gentle Oil for After Hair Removal Care
I started using this Cyperus oil after shaving because my skin often feels dry afterward. The texture is lightweight and spreads easily, so I only need a small amount on areas like legs and underarms. I usually apply it after showering, when my skin is clean and dry, then massage it in for a few minutes. The oil feels soothing and gives my skin a softer, more moisturized feeling without being too greasy. It absorbs better than I expected, especially when I use a thin layer. The scent is mild and does not bother me during daily use. For unwanted hair care, I know it is not something that shows a big change overnight, so I use it consistently after hair removal. It has been easy to add into my routine, and I like that it helps calm and moisturize my skin after shaving or waxing.

Absorbs into the skin well and no irritation so far
I bought this Cyperus Rotundus oil to try out, and the 1.85 oz bottle is a good size for me. The oil has a light botanical scent that is pleasant and not too strong. I have applied it a few times and found that it is very easy to use with the included dropper. It absorbs into the skin well and I have noticed no irritation at all, which is important for my daily routine. The bottle arrived quickly and was packaged securely so there were no leaks. It is a practical addition to my shelf, and the glass container feels solid. This product does exactly what it says on the label and provides a straightforward way to use a natural oil. It is a functional and simple purchase that meets my needs perfectly.

Smooth skin without the post-shave itch
I’ve always had issues with my skin feeling super irritated after I shave my legs, so I started applying this Cyperus Rotundus oil right after hopping out of the shower. The quality of the blend is impressive—it’s got jojoba and almond oil too, so it feels very nourishing rather than just sitting on top of the skin. It absorbs quickly enough that I can put on my leggings and head to the gym without feeling like a greaseball. The functionality as a hair inhibitor is a nice bonus. I’ve noticed the hair on my shins seems to be coming back a bit softer and less stubbly than before. For a 55 ml bottle, the value for money is solid since you only need a few drops to cover a large area. It’s a great find for anyone who deals with that annoying sandpaper feeling a day after waxing. My roommate even started using it on her arms because it’s fragrance-free and doesn't mess with her perfume.
