Eco-Printing with Native Plants
Advertisement
Learn to dye textiles using common plants!
In this beginner-friendly workshop, we'll explore botanical dyeing using native plants collected at the Civic Garden Center—many of which are likely in your own backyard! After a quick introduction and a demonstration, you'll use a bundle dye technique and an iron after-bath to make a botanically dyed tea towel to take home. While your creation is steaming, we'll discuss common dye plants so you can start your own botanical color journey. You'll leave with your hand-dyed tea towel and a handout that explains the process and lists favorite dye plants.
No prior dye or plant knowledge is required to participate.
MEET YOUR INSTRUCTOR: Devan Horton is a Northern Kentucky artist who works with botanical dyes and homemade pigments making work about our inseparable connections to nature. Visit www.devanhorton.com or @hortondevan on Instagram for more.
COST: $35
