In this VIRTUAL workshop, artist and teacher Aaron Sanders Head will share how to coax and harness color from foraged Goldenrod. One week before the workshop, participants will receive a video including information on identifying Goldenrod, preparing and gathering the plant, setting up a space for dyeing, and scouring/mordanting their fabrics, so that you can be set up and ready to dye along with Aaron.
The live workshop will cover dyeing with Goldenrod in a general way, and how to best pass that beautiful golden onto both protein and cellulose fiber in a long lasting way. Aaron will discuss foraging as a creative practice, and what we can learn from foragers in history. Aaron will also share various pH modifications to expand the Queen Anne’s Lace palette, bundle dyeing techniques, and share how he starts and maintains a dye journal.
