About this event

Earth Color Dye Lab is a drop-in workshop, so please come and finish within the time frame*. The goal of this workshop is to learn the method of natural dyeing for your everyday sustainable living.

We will open the dye tables full of dye basins of Bengala, plus Aijozome Indigo! Reserve your spot and come with your material to dye. No worries if you don't have anything from home, you can buy from our selection of kids' and adults' size T-shirts, cloths for you! Even if you are a beginner at dyeing, we will provide instructions on creating amazing Japanese shibori (tie-dye and resist-dye) patterns.

Bengala Mud Dye is one of the oldest natural dyes and is non-toxic. This workshop is eco-friendly, and the dyeing method is very easy. It's perfect for individuals or even families to enjoy together!

*It takes about an hour to dye one item.

Additional Fees at the Studio

Dye Fee:

For materials brought from home, a dye fee will be charged based on weight: $2.5 per ounce of fabric or yarn.

Please note that some materials may not be suitable for dyeing, so we recommend checking with us in advance or bringing extra materials just in case.

Items to Dye:

If you don't have any materials to bring, no worries! We have a wide selection of dyeable items at the studio for a small fee, including new t-shirts ($15), kitchen cloths, bandanas, thread, hats, bags, etc. Items purchased at the studio will be weighed and you will be charged a dyeing fee.

Frequently asked questions

Can I bring my children with me with one ticket?

If your child is under 8 years old, they can come with a parent or guardian and create a piece together. Children 8 and over will need a ticket, whether they are dropping off or coming with a family member.

Can I come back later to pick up my project?

A: Unfortunately, we are unable to store projects, as we don't have enough space for drying. Please bring a plastic bag or a utility towel to carry your wet project home with you.

Will the workshop be canceled if it rains?

No, it's a rain-or-shine event. If the weather isn't favorable, we’ll move the workshop indoors.
