NATURAL DYES - Workshop
Experience the fun and creativity of playing with dyes made from nature and walk away with a beautiful fabric only you could have created. But, to be fair, our workshops are so much more than the final product. The magic happens within the process because when you give yourself time to play, you’ll tap into something deep inside you. Throughout the session, you’ll connect with others and get your hands dirty. You’ll experiment with Shibori folds and witness how the dye reacts with different fabrics. And you’ll learn to look at your neighborhood with new eyes by extracting color from local trees and plants. All students will receive sample swatches and two silk handkerchiefs. There will be also be an opportunity to purchase additional materials limited by supply.
