Save $30 when you sign up for both this workshop and the Stamp Making Workshop.
Bring your old or stained garments that no longer get worn and revive them through the process of botanical dyeing. You'll learn how to prepare fabric for dyeing and two methods to capture colour on cloth using botanical dye plants grown in our gardens.
This is a two part workshop:
Friday Aug 21st, 7:00-8:30pm Part one: Mordanting and prepping cloth, planning your project.
Sunday Aug 23rd 2:00-4:30 pm Part Two: Bundle Dyeing and Garden Tour
Each student needs to bring up to 500g of clean and washed fabric. This came be yardage or garments, but must be 100% natural fibres. Cotton, Linen, Silk and Wool work best. Think tank tops, scarves, kids shirts, baby onsies or one larger item like a shirt or dress. You can bring just one or several pieces but the total weight must not exceed 500g, please weight your fabric!
You can purchase silk scarves or cotton bandana's from me if you don't have items on hand that you want to use. Email to inquire.
