WOAD CENTRE

The Woad Centre is the only commercial woad production centre in Britain and is based in Norfolk. Ian and Bernadette Howard are the people behind the business, Ian having diversified from regular arable farming into pigment production from plants, specialising in woad and weld... We work with craftspeople who make up items for us, either with woad dyed yarn or we piece-dye them once they are made. This enables us to trial different ideas, and can offer many individual items to complement our standard lines... We aim to combine best quality materials with our blue woad dye to provide superior, contemporary homewares and clothing, so we shall have a modern slant on a traditional product.
