Workshop Highlights:

Discovering Dye Processes: Participants will prepare their cloth samples using non-toxic mordants, build communal dye pots made from flowers grown at Pine Meadow Ranch, and dye both plant and protein fibers.

Document & Experiment: Attendees of this workshop will receive a natural dye journal to document their newfound knowledge on the interactions between mordant, fiber type, and dye.


All materials will be provided.

No natural dye experience required.

For ages 16 and older. Those under age 16 may attend accompanied by an adult.
