This four-session intensive is designed for both beginners and experienced dyers seeking to explore new techniques and connect with plant dyes in a grounded, sustainable, and artful way. Each session combines history and theory with hands-on applications in fabric preparation, surface design, and dye methods. Through technical instruction and mindful creative practice, students will gain a strong foundation in key topics, including plant dyestuff, mordants, and botanical printing. Leave with a natural dye rainbow journal and bandana to take home.
