Natural Dyeing with Organic Waste

Introduction to Natural Dyeing with Organic Waste

Come join us for a creative afternoon at Crown Studios for a vibrant and eco-conscious journey into the world of natural dyeing from food and flower waste!

Waste is a pressing environmental issue globally. Food waste and flower waste are significant contributors to this problem, filling up landfills as they decompose. By repurposing these waste materials for natural dyeing and continue extracting what they are capable of offering, we not only reduce waste but also promote sustainability and creativity.

In this immersive, hands-on workshop, you'll learn the ancient art and science of natural dyeing, extracting pigments from nature's bounty, transforming food and flower scraps into vibrant hues for fabric, and turning what might have been discarded into stunning works of art.
