An ancient and eco-centered craft, Natural Dyes are a place to connect with the beauty and bounty of our planet’s rich offerings while creating with color and using our hands and minds to refresh our homes, wardrobes and to create one-of-a-kind palettes.
At this hands-on workshop you will learn to confidently approach Natural Dyes & Mordant so you’ll be ready to continue on your own. If you’ve ever looked into using Natural Dyes, you may have been intimidated by the many facets of the process. We’ll cover them all–scour, mordants, dye prep, dyeing & finishing–in great detail so you can get to creating with natural color today. All materials included.

* Intro to Natural Dyes booklet
* Samples from the dye pots
* 3 scarves to dye (your choice: Chiffon Silk, Habotai Silk or Rayon-Bamboo)
