Local Plants for Natural Dyes and Pigments (in-person)

Join us for an engaging workshop that dives into the vibrant world of natural dyes! 🌈 Focused on utilizing common garden plants, local ornamental trees, and even some surprising weeds, participants will learn the art of preparing dye baths and explore how various fibers respond to natural dyes. You'll also get an introduction to mordants, essential for achieving rich colors.

🎨 Each participant will leave with a personalized swatch book and a stunning silk scarf dyed by their own hands! All necessary materials are included in the workshop fee.
