SOLD OUT

Many of us don’t realize how many natural color options we have in our food scraps and kitchen spice drawer! Join us to learn more about the process of natural dyeing- from mordanting fabric to obtaining color. This workshop will specifically be using food materials to dye with, such as onion skins, avocado pits and more! Participants will leave with a hand dyed piece and informational hand out to continue their natural dye journey.

Project support provided by The Open Fund, through the Poor Farm with funding from The Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts and Ruth Foundation for the Arts.

*note that there is a supported and a supporter payment option, this workshop is FREE but if you would like to donate so that we can continue to offer programming, there are options to.
