🌱Introducing Zoë Burt, The Serge Hill Project’s Artist in residence 2026-2027🌱 📣 We’re delighted to announce the continuation of our Artist in Residence programme, as we warmly welcome @zoeburtuk as The Serge Hill Project’s Artist in Residence for 2026–2027. 🖌️With a symbolic artist’s brush handed from @annemckenzieart to Zoë during The Well Gardened Mind concert on 25 April, we marked the beginning of an exciting new year of creative cultivation… @zoeburtuk is an artist exploring ecology, imagination and material culture through textiles, drawing and plant-based processes, creating work that reconnects creativity, community and the living world. 🌀Nature, soul and imagination lie at the heart of her practice. Through drawing, eco-printing, plant-based screen printing, textiles and cyanotype, Zoë explores humanity’s place within the living world. Her work seeks a poetic language of art to restore colour, ritual and renewed connection to nature. 🌈To prepare for the colourful year ahead, we are developing a pigment garden within our shared communal garden spaces, supporting Zoë’s work while offering participants a chance to learn directly from the earth during her school and community workshops. 🌿 Zoë is also excited to explore and reveal the species held within The Plant Library that have tinctorial properties. We look forward to sharing the beautiful works that Zoë creates in response to our space and with our communities. 👀 Do keep an eye out for her public workshops, dates to be announced… Welcome Zoë! 💚 With deep gratitude to the Julia Rausing Trust whose funding has made this residency possible.

With support from National Lottery Awards for All, we're exploring the future of homegrown colour for textiles. Rooted Colour 2026 is a programme of capacity building for Circular Economy Textiles. Growing natural dyes with 10 London based Community Gardens. Engaging volunteers in exciting uses of natural colour. And Building a Community Scale natural dye studio at The Remakery that can upgrade our capacity from what can fit in a pot! We need #industrialdesigners and people who can draw things on computers, who are interested in the next generation of manufacturing equipment. With these new machines we can get part Mass Production and into Regenerative Provisioning. 8th June 3-8pm at The Remakery Link in Bio

I visited the Natural Dye and Well being garden a couple of weeks ago at The National Theatre, on the second floor, roof terrace of the Olivier theatre. It was a lovely sunny day and the garden was framed beautifully by the London Eye and River Thames. I had never previously seen a Dyers Alkanet growing and was intrigued to find Pheasants eye and Blood sorrel, all new plants to me. Madder was growing vigorously - vibrant oranges and red pigments from the roots Ladies bedstraw - gingery tones from their roots Bronze fennel - for yellows French marigolds - for orangey yellows Japanese Indigo for blues from the leaves - not yet visible Woad for blues, also from the leaves, seen in second year growth Sawort - for yellows to greens Great to know that Glyndebourne also have a dye garden in Sussex for their costume department to experiment and grow with 🌱 #growingcolour #dyegarden #costumedesign #Nationaltheatre #Glyndebourne
