Seasonal Bundle Dyeing
By Kim Comstock
Students will get to learn about this free-form technique using all locally harvested botanicals. Dried and fresh plants + food waste will be available, including: cosmos; marigolds; onion skins; hibiscus flowers; hollyhock; coreopsis; and more. We will discuss the basics of natural dyeing, including how to prepare your fabric with a mordant to ensure the colors hold over time. Each participant will leave the workshop with a unique botanical bandana and a detailed instructional handout for future bundle dyeing projects at home! No previous plant dye experience necessary.
Materials: All materials and tools will be provided through the material fee which is to be brought at the time of class.
