Explore the natural dyes blooming at Pine Meadow Ranch! Using pre-mordanted fibers, this workshop will focus on the basics of natural dyes and the ecstatic magic of plant-based color. Participants will leave with one finished textile and a natural dye journal.
Workshop Higlights:
- From Harvest to Dye: Participants will engage in hands on lessons about dye plant harvesting, building dye pots and coaxing color from plants.
