Saturday, August 15 | 10AM - 12PM
Join maker Ana Burcroff in learning the how-tos of natural dyes! This workshop will be visually appealing and informative for those who are beginning, or looking to deepen their craft.
We’ll cover how to make a single color dye vat out of plants, how to bundle dye using dried and fresh plants and pigment extracts, and how to mordant. In addition, we will cover the materials and techniques needed to successfully do natural dyeing on your own, all while sipping farm fresh herbal tea!
Participants will learn how to dye a linen tea towel and a silk scarf. A detailed handout covering class topics and techniques needed for dyeing at home will also be given to participants at the classes end.
