Botanical Printing and Indigo Dyeing- Sampling Plant Based Dyes
October 21, 2023 @ 11:00 am - 4:00 pm
Learn natural dye methods including bundle dyeing, shibori techniques, indigo vat use, and other creative dye printing! The workshop will begin with tutorials on indigo dyeing, bundle dyeing, and tying techniques, followed by guided open studio time for participants to explore their creative vision. We call this a ‘sampler’ because we will do short basic demos on several dye techniques and facilitate the application of these techniques on your garments, fabric or yarn.
This includes up to 5 pound of personal items to dye. This is a great opportunity to freshen up favorites from your wardrobe that are made of cotton, linen, silk, wool, hemp and other natural fibers. There will also be cotton tote bags and fabric swatches provided, with other dyeable items for sale. Always consider checking out the thrift store a few doors down the street from us.
We are limiting the workshop to 15 participants.
General admission is $115; General Admission + Lunch is $135. If you are opting for a lunch ticket, please reach out to our team if you have any dietary restrictions or needs.
Green Matters Natural Dye Co is located at: 5541 Old Philadelphia Pike, Unit 3, Gap, PA 17527.
Please dress in layers, and we ask that you wear old clothing and shoes. ** IF YOU HAVE RAIN BOOTS OR MUCKBOOTS, WE HIGHLY RECOMMEND BRINGING THEM ALONG!! **
