Introduction to natural dyeing

There is a new interest in the age old art of natural dyeing using plants, barks and nuts. Learn to identify which plants produce permanent colors and how to get many color variations from just one plant. This will be a demonstration of how to prepare the dyestuff, scour and mordant wool yarn and run a dye bath. I will also demonstrate how additional shades can be created by post mordanting. Students will receive samples from all dyebaths, printed instructions and a resource list so they can dye at home.
