Natural Dyes 101
This workshop will introduce students to “The Art and Science of Natural Dyes.” Students will work collectively to clean and scour various fabric swatches then pre-mordant them while building an indigo vat, and learn how to dye those fabric swatches then modify the colors. The workshop will focus primarily on the process of natural dyeing and developing an extended color palette. We will be using dried flowers, extracts, and other dye stuffs so students understand the whole process. All supplies included. Ages 14 and up.
