Join us for an afternoon of exploring the magic of plant dyes! This is a class, but it's also a chance to play and experiment and make something beautiful. You'll be provided all materials to make 2 silk bandanas/scarves. We'll cover bundle dying with the yellow/orange/red flowers of the season, and then do salt-rub fresh indigo dye. 

This is one of our favorite ways to appreciate the beauty & chemistry of plants, and we're excited to share it with you!

- fabric options + mordants

- plant dye preparations

- local plants that can be used for dyeing

- dye techniques with a focus on bundle-dyeing

- plant dye modifiers

 

Materials provided:

- 2 silk bandanas/scarves for you to dye

About the Space:

Sulis Studio is run by local artists Becca and Raven. Current offerings include weekly figure drawing classes, and workshops taught by guest instructors. check out the gorgeous space @sulisstudio253. This event is wheelchair accessible! Studio is accessed either via stairs or ramp + elevator. We’ll meet outside at the entrance to make sure no one gets lots in the maze that old mill buildings are. The studio has lots of open space for moving around in, and a variety of seating/standing options. There is a small bathroom in the studio & a wheelchair accessible bathroom in the building.

Covid Considerations:

Workshop is limited to 14 participants. This is an indoor event, so well-fitted masks are required! (if you need a KN-95 or surgical mask, we will provide you one at the door.) Tasha + Devon are vaccinated & boosted, and will be wearing masks for the duration of the event including while teaching. Hand sanitizer will be provided. Please contact us if you have questions about this!
