Join us for this hand-on workshop where you will learn the fundamentals and techniques of extracting natural colors from plants for use on fabric. This workshop is more in-depth and involves using 2-4 different seasonal, local

plants and how to extract them to create a dye. We will discuss fabric

create solid colors or patterns using resist techniques (tie-dye) learn how to change

the color of our dye with pH.
