Advanced Natural Dyeing: Achieving the Spectrum with Overdyeing

Join us for this advanced Natural Dye Workshop, a part of our 2025 Natural Dye Series with fibers artist Madelaine Corbin!

Dates: August 16th

Time: 10 a.m. - 3:30 p.m.

Location: Pine Meadow Ranch Center for Arts & Agriculture

This one-day workshop will work with three ancient dye plants to achieve a wide spectrum of possible colors. Participants will get to know the intricacies of indigo, madder, and weld—three dye plants requiring individual processes to access their strong colors.

Workshop Highlights:

• Exploring Dye Techniques: Participants will use overdying to unveil the full range of natural dye possibilities. They will also be introduced to Shibori and resist methods for their own experimentation.
• Experiment & Document: Participants will use their natural dye journals to document different interactions between fiber type, dye type and dye interactions.

All materials will be provided.

No natural dye experience required.

For ages 16 and older. Those under age 16 may attend accompanied by an adult.
