Farm2Fabric: Natural Dye Workshop with Local Artist
This fun, experimental, dig-in-and-dye-it workshop is perfect for new and experienced makers alike. Spend the day learning how to upcycle scarves, fabric remnants, pillow cases, curtains, t-shirts into something new, wearable, useful and wonderfully artistic. Make your own organic dyes using materials from your fridge crisper, compost bin and garden - fruits, flowers, vegetables, botanicals and herbs. Learn natural dyeing techniques including bundle, dip, and raw color transfer to fabrics.
You’ll take home at least one, original wearable or functional piece of art and all the know-how to continue experimenting at home.
All workshop materials are provided. You’re encouraged to bring items from home to add to the materials collection (makes it more fun and interesting!) including organic household and garden materials described above and pre-washed white natural fabrics or remnants including cotton, linen, wool, muslin, and silk, and recycled denim.
