Tutorial – Natural Food Colouring

While preparing the CMYK Dinner we thought it would be interesting to experiment a bit with natural food colours. It’s nothing new, here in Italy it’s a tradition to colour eggs for Easter by boiling them in food colour. We thought it could be interesting to try and colour some fabric, in this case cotton and for our Fork n’Flowers event we coloured Jute. What follows is a graphic and somewhat simple overview of the process. We hope to soon post more detailed and useful information on colouring with natural dyes.
