Winter Windfall Colors

Iris Sullivan Daire

Dye a cozy raw silk scarf with ethically foraged plants.

Portland Nursery

Winter Windfall Colors Dyeing silk with storm fallen branches, orchard prunings &amp; lichens.Sweetly scented healing colors on silk and wool ~ warm browns, cool grays &amp; rich burnished golden hues, these are the reward for the forager of winter windfall dyes here in the PNW. In this class we will cook up a big pot of western hemlock, sitka spruce, and red alder twigs along with lichens. All gathered off the ground after storms on the Oregon Coast, where Iris, the instructor, lives. We will discuss the ethics and safety of wild crafting dyes, possibilities for using fruit tree prunings for color, and touch on the medicinal potential of some common trees and lichens. Students will leave with a cozy raw silk scarf dyed in the class, and empowered to explore the potential of windfall colors in their own neighborhood
