Workshop Description: We’ll be exploring the magic of achieving a natural green from flowers, fruits and roots. Come prepared to learn how to set up natural dye pots, dye with four yellow producing dyes and over-dye with indigo and iron to achieve bright greens and saddened olive greens. We’ll be working on a dye study together in order to achieve 12 colors on 3 types of natural materials for a total of 36 different samples. These samples will be used to later fill a dye binder complete with recipes to achieve similar colors at home. This workshop will cover safety/clean up procedures, how to prepare dye materials, as well as where to purchase dye stuff. Each participant will leave with enough dyed fiber samples to fill a dye binder.
