Introduction to Natural Dyes

Experience the wonder of natural dyeing in this one-day workshop. We will use two dyes to experience and experiment with natural color extracted from plants. We will also use leaves and flowers to create a nature inspired pattern on fabric. At the end of the workshop, you will leave with two naturally dyed samples on cotton, and one naturally dyed cotton bandana. No previous experience is necessary. This workshop includes lunch in our historic dining lodge.
