In this workshop, we will explore the beauty and magic of botanical color, using the bundle dyeing processes to create color and texture on fiber with medicinal herbs. Dyeing with plants is an ancient, grounding practice, a way to deeply connect with plants. We will go over the basics of natural dyeing - what types of materials are suitable to dye with and dye on, how to prepare them, and which dye plants also have medicinal properties. Students will leave the class with a bundle dyed bandana, imprinted with the shape and colors of the plants they chose to work with.
