Colors from Nature (FREE)

Nature is full of beautiful colors. What if I told you you can capture those colors and use them to dye fibers and fabrics? We'll use goldenrod and other available plant materials gathered from the wild, different mordants and create a range of colors satisfying to the hands and pleasing to the eye. This workshop focuses on wool dyeing, though cotton and other fabrics can also be dyed using colors from nature.

Join us August 23rd from 5pm to 8pm at CCE Madison: 100 Eaton Street in Morrisville!
