Skill level:  Beginner

Workshop Description:  We’ll be exploring the magic of achieving a rainbow of color using flowers, barks, bugs and roots. Come prepared to learn how to set up natural dye pots, dye with at least six natural dyes and over-dye with indigo and iron to expand our palette. We’ll be working on a dye study together in order to achieve 18 colors on 3 types of natural materials for a total of 54 different samples. These samples will be used to later fill a dye journal 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 their dye journal.
