cordwainers natural dye studio
London
We are a Hackney-based community-interest company focusing on connecting people
with the natural world in creative and collaborative ways. Through innovative
teaching and experiential learning, Cordwainers Grow hopes to connect and
inspire a network of social and environmental innovators. We evolved out of
Cordwainers Garden, a community growing space on land belonging to the London
College of Fashion in Mare Street. We wanted to make the link with what the
staff and students were doing inside the college to the outside so, in 2011
started growing plants for dyeing and to make fibre. The garden closed in April
2019, but Cordwainers Grow continues and we champion sustainable community
growing in the face of increased competition for space and inequality of access.
