Natural Dye with Cotton and Silk - Sat PM

This workshop is held in a heated tent and your hands may be in and out of water.

Have you wanted to get into natural dye but are intimidated by the wealth of information available and not sure where to start? Michelle will distill the process into simple steps to get you started--from the science of scouring and mordanting to the selection of dye materials.

We will be using Michelle's homegrown and foraged materials to bundle dye a silk pocket square and silk square neck tie. We will also complete the scouring and mordant process for one cotton bandana that you will take home with materials to dye after the bandana cures. All materials and equipment will be provided for the class and home-dye process. Written instructions, equipment list, and natural dye resources will be provided digitally after class (via email links).
