Using marigolds, cosmos, and other favorites from Aaron’s dye garden, participants will explore various ways of passing the beautiful colors of flowers to fiber in longlasting ways, including bundle dyeing, immersion dyeing and shibori.
Students are provided with a scarf for bundle dyeing and a handkerchief for experimenting. Participants are encouraged to bring 1-2 additional small homegoods or accessories. These items must be made of natural fiber, and should be thoroughly pre-washed before the workshop.
Participants should wear old clothing that can be stained, including shoes, or bring an apron. This workshop is limited to participants 18+. There is a minimum of 8 participants and a maximum of 15. If the minimum is not met, participants will be refunded.
