Botanical Fabric Printing & Eco-Dye Workshop | Agriculture Nights Workshop

Step into the world of botanical color and sustainable creativity during this hands-on eco-dyeing experience led by artist Verónica Buitrón.

Using flowers, leaves, berries, and plant-based pigments, you’ll create your own one-of-a-kind silk textile through a process known as ecobundling — a technique that transforms natural materials into richly detailed prints and patterns.

As your textile steams and develops its final colors, you’ll continue experimenting with berry-based inks, natural pigments, and pH modifiers to discover how chemistry changes color in real time.

Whether you’re an artist, creative hobbyist, sustainability enthusiast, or simply looking for a unique night out in Miami, this workshop offers a relaxing and memorable experience blending art, nature, and history.

Veronica Buitron is a Miami-based designer and educator specializing in natural dyes and sustainable textiles. She discovered her passion for natural dyes while pursuing her BFA at The School of the Art Institute of Chicago and furthered her knowledge with the mentoring of Peruvian dyers.

In March 2020, she released her first book, which focuses on native dye plants from her home country of Ecuador.
