Hands-On Demo with Wing & A Prayer Farm
In this mini-workshop, you’ll learn the basics of natural dyes and take home a 100% Charmeuse Silk pillowcase, dyed by hand, with plants grown and foraged in New England. We’ll be using a combination of flowers, leaves and plant dye extracts to create moody or vibrant patterns, images and colors.
Bundle dyeing is an easy technique which can build a foundation for learning more and advanced techniques of dyeing or simply to indulge in the wonders of nature. Though your silk will be pre-prepared for long-lasting results, the basics will be taught so that you will be able to explore on your own.
All plant materials are either homegrown or ethically sourced. Resources will be discussed.
Charmeuse Silk pillowcase is 21″ x 32″, including a 3.5″ hem.
Fee for kit is $35 and includes pre-mordanted silk pillowcase and all materials to make your own botanically dyed pillowcase at home.
