Bundle Dyeing with Food Waste Dyes with Laura Hricko

With the guidance of Laura Hricko of Dye Club, learn how to create beautiful, one-of-a-kind patterns on textiles using a variety of kitchen scraps, food waste dyes, and spices. This workshop will lead participants through one of the most water-wise natural dye processes, known as bundle dyeing. You will leave this workshop having created two naturally dyed fabric samples, and a handout that will direct you towards continuing your investigation of these practices on your own. Get inspired by these humble materials as you create works of art on fabric that will lead you to rethink the creative potential of food waste before it hits the compost pile.
