Natural Dye Workshops are designed exclusively for those who wish to dye fabrics made of plant fibers like cotton, hemp and linen. Unlike animal fibers, (wool, alpaca, etc), plant fibers require special treatment, and different mordanting techniques in order to achieve brilliant, light-fast colors. This workshop will take students through the process of mordanting and selecting seasonal dyestuff that create beautiful natural dyes. We will also experiment with modifiers to create a range of colors. Students will leave with their own swatch samples for future reference.
