"I have found the Natural Dyeing course an excellent resource to have because it is crafted in a way to help a beginner like me get started in the natural dying process.
The steps are easy to follow and all of Victoria's years of research and experience has really made the learning experience easy and fun. I would have never jumped into this without such a simple yet rich guide to get me started."

"I can't believe these colors I was able to create.
After reading and watching the videos and resources I started dyeing with onion skins and eucalyptus and started creating the most amazing variety of yellows, coppers and golds. Now I am experimenting with logwood and dyeing my roving to use in wet felting! I am hooked! This course from La Creative Mama made it so easy to learn! "

ECO PRINTING
"Victoria’s class is so rich in information that I find myself coming back to it time and again to improve my understanding of this fascinating printing technique...
I started out with Eco Printing, just watching YouTube videos but the results were very unsatisfying. After takin this course my Eco printing results are so much better than anything I could have come up with on my own.
Victoria is so easy to understand and follow and she is also so responsive to emails!"

-Ada
"Before I took this eco printing course I just kind of fumbled around taking from a lot of different people and what they were doing and trying to get results.
Victoria’s instructions are very concise and yet simple enough for even someone like me to understand!
I found that I was getting clearer prints in taking the course than I did before and I would highly recommend this course to anyone getting started an eco printing! I also love the fact that Victoria is very personable and is available to answer questions that you might have. She did for me several times"
