Class Description: Did you know that your garden can provide dyes for your yarn and fabrics? This is an introduction to harvesting natural dyes from plants. We’ll cover the basics of the science behind natural dyeing and learn about which plants can impart lasting color. We’ll go over growing your own dye garden, and sustainable practices for gathering dyestuffs in the wild. The workshop format is part presentation, and part hands-on experimentation with various dyeing techniques such as solar dyeing, immersion dyeing, and eco-printing. Each person will take home swatches of their naturally dyed fabric and yarn.
Experience Level: No experience required.
Materials to be provided by instructor: All equipment, tools, and materials will be provided, including dyestuffs, yarn, and fiber.
Materials to be provided by student: None are required but participants are invited to bring freshly harvested plant materials they may want to learn more about and work with during the workshop.
