Equinox Dye Bath: Natural Dye and Eco-Printing for Honoring Seasonal Transitions
Register Now:The autumn equinox is a time when the natural world starts to die back and shift into a slower season, but it’s also a vibrant and abundant time for natural dye. In this 3 hr workshop, we will work with 3 locally grown or foraged plants to learn the basics of natural dye and ecoprinting, processes of coaxing color from plants into cloth. We will talk about this moment of seasonal transition and how to honor it with creativity, color, and community. Everyone will go home with knowledge of making a dye bath, how to mordant, and caring for dyed items. Beginners warmly welcome!
