🌸 A Spring Celebration at Ash House 🌸

We're absolutely delighted to be joining you at Ash House, a stunning 18th-century Queen Anne building that has been beautifully restored and stands proudly in the heart of Somerset.

Step away from the hustle and bustle of city life and immerse yourself in a serene afternoon of craft and creativity. This is the perfect opportunity to unwind, relax, and soak in the charm of this picturesque corner of Somerset.

For centuries, eggs have symbolised new life and renewal. With Easter approaching, we’re drawing inspiration from traditional folklore techniques passed down through generations, exploring the art of natural dyeing to create beautifully coloured eggs.

Join Alice, founder of Casa De Folklore, as she guides you through her cherished childhood memories with this enchanting craft. In this workshop, you’ll learn how to transform food waste, vegetables, and spices into stunning, vibrant hues — a sustainable and creative way to celebrate the season.

But the magic doesn’t stop there! You’ll also discover how to decorate your eggs with flowers and leaves, creating intricate, organic patterns that are truly one of a kind.

With Alice’s expert guidance, you’ll explore various techniques to achieve unique textures and designs, from delicate botanical imprints to batik-style patterns using beeswax and handmade tools. Whether you’re an experienced crafter or a complete beginner, this hands-on workshop is perfect for all skill levels.

By the end of the session, you’ll have a stunning collection of decorated eggs to take home — perfect for displaying with pride — along with the skills and confidence to continue this timeless tradition with friends and family.

It’s never too late to start a new tradition — come and experience the joy of egg dyeing with us!

Embrace the slower pace, connect with nature, and let the peaceful surroundings inspire you. We can't wait to share this special experience with you! ✨
