Community Natural Dye Bath (2-Part Workshop) at CraftStudies, White River Junction, VT

  • CraftStudies 87 Maple Street White River Junction, VT, 05001 United States (map)

Bring your own natural-fiber yarn, fabric, or clothing to dye with plants! No previous experience required, though past students and seasoned natural dyers are welcome. Everyone can bring up to 300g of material to dye. 

The first session will cover mordanting, a crucial step which enables plant pigment to bond to the fiber, and we'll walk through the processes of mordanting both cellulose (plant) and protein (animal) fibers. The second session will offer 2 different colored natural dye baths to choose from, yellow or red, each made from traditional dye plants to give your garments, fabric, or fiber a fresh vibrant color!

Session 1: Saturday, July 11th, 1-2:30 pm

Session 2: Saturday, July 18th, 1-2:30 pm
