Ashleighs expertise is as an artist and facilitator working with natural dyes. She has been working on projects growing plants for this purpose. She engaged in a workshop with The Sustainable Darkroom based from London and this workshop will allow participants to engage with some of the creative processes she has been experimenting with during this residency.
