Dive into the technical processes behind natural color, where it comes from, and how to fasten it to fiber. This one-day workshop will focus on the dye process from start to finish. Participants will leave with two finished textiles and a natural dye journal.
Workshop Highlights:
- Discovering Dye Processes: Participants will prepare their cloth samples using non-toxic mordants, build communal dye pots made from flowers grown at Pine Meadow Ranch, and dye both plant and protein fibers.
- Document & Experiment: Attendees of this workshop will receive a natural dye journal to document their newfound knowledge on the interactions between mordant, fiber type, and dye.
