Natural Plant Dye + Eco Printing

Natural Plant Dye + Eco Printing

 

This workshop is an invitation to learn the basics of plant dye alchemy. Plant dyeing is the oldest way of capturing color on textiles and is used amoung many different cultures.

In this class you’ll be able to witness the alchemical beauty of tranforming undyed fibers into living color pieces. We’ll be experimenting with extracted dye from plants, modifiers and/or eco printing on organic fibers. You’ll be guided through the foundations of natural dye in a step by step process that can support your journey of walking in color and giving new life to the threads that hold you.

You’ll leave the gathering with your own specially hand dyed piece; steeped in plant extracts, barks, tannins, flowers, leaves and the essence of Spirit Weavers 2024.

Lily Chau will be offering Natural Plant Dye + Eco Printing workshops.
