SIGN UP: Botanical Dyes: Solid Natural Dyes

Bring the shades of the Earth into your everyday life with beautiful, sustainable creations! This workshop will cover dye making techniques using local plants, such as black walnut, spruce, acorns, nettle, barberry and more. Learn how to identify and process plants, make dye baths, prepare different types of fibers and create long lasting unique solid dyes. We will take you through each step of the process using non-toxic, available, easy to use mordants and color modifiers. Each participant will leave with a hand dyed item.

Various materials will be available on site to choose from or bring a small item of your choosing to experiment with.
