Join us for a cozy winter evening exploring the magic of transforming wild plants and kitchen scraps into sensory delights! First, you’ll earn how to set up natural dye pots to create a range of fabric colors from nature. The workshop will also cover how to prepare fabric for dyeing as well as safety and clean up procedures. While your fabric is soaking, you’ll assemble your own simmer pot kit using dried fruits and plants. This stoptove potpourri can be used year round to scent your home and makes an excellent housewarming gift. Each participant will leave with at least one hand-dyed tea towel and one simmer pot kit as well as instructions on how to create more from home.
