In this workshop, we’ll connect with nature by collecting local materials to use in our art-making. We’ll experiment with natural printing techniques on fabric and watercolour paper, as well as eco-dyeing, and shibori/tie-dyeing with food waste and modifiers. We’ll also try Hapa-zome (plant pounding) on fabric and flower painting on watercolour paper.

Throughout the workshop, we’ll create wearable art, gain new skills to take home, and deepen our connection to ourselves, nature, and the community—while discovering practices that support both our well-being and the earth.

Is there anything I need to bring?
Materials are all supplied, but please:

Put sunblock on before you arrive, and bring along a hat, as we’ll be spending time outside
Wear an apron and covered shoes as we’ll be working with water
Bring a drink and lunch
