The Lansdowne is a sustainable studio based in Glasgow (Scotland) where We teach natural dye processes in simple and creative classes. We concentrate in giving our participants a sound technique and an understanding of the natural creative process as well as produce beautiful art work.

We focus in showing you how to adapt those techniques to your local environment to make your process more sustainable.



When you sign to our school you will be kept informed of our new classes but signing for our school does not mean you get free access to those classes, You will still have to sign for the class to access. We aim at giving you long term access to allow you to work at your own pace.

"Your Cotinus project kept me connected during the Covid pandemic, I felt surrounded by like minded people despite being locked at home... and we created beautiful artwork."
