By the River Thames, behind the scenes at the National Theatre, we met with the printers and dyers of the costume workshop. Ceres spent the day teaching the team how to extract colours from plants, and print onto fabric with natural dyes.
The National Theatre are investing in planting a dye garden. On the balcony, overlooking the river, are the emerging shoots of it. We are looking forward to how their colours grow over the following seasons. It will be fascinating to see how this new way of working integrates with the production of the upcoming costumes from the design team.
