Dee Sayce

I enjoy spinning, dyeing, weaving and other textile-based crafts, I like to share my skills and knowledge about these crafts and I am always learning more myself too. I particularly like the whole process of seeing a sheep in a field, watching it being sheared, sorting and deciding how to use the fleece. Spinning the fleece, picking something like blackberries or forsythia leaves to dye it with, then weaving or knitting it into something beautiful and useful. Where possible I use local and/or recycled materials to minimise my impact on the environment.

I'm an experienced textile tutor and artist. I regularly teach textile-based workshops at a variety of places in the UK, including Straight Curves, Chesterfield, Memorial Hall, Bamford and the Eco Centre nr. Wirksworth.
