✜ Bundle Dyeing with Botanicals ✜ Wednesday, May 24 ✜

Explore natural dyeing using steam to extract color and pattern from plants in this three-hour class! Bundle dyeing is a type of natural dyeing that involves wrapping fabric around plant materials and using steam to transfer their colors. We will learn about natural dye techniques, suitable dyeplants that are available locally, and gather color from marigolds, coreopsis, sunflowers, and other plants. By the end of class, students will have gained a new appreciation for the natural world and created their own one-of-a-kind pieces of dyed fabric to take home. 

Thursday, May 25, 12:00 noon, in a backyard near the northwest corner of Powderhorn Park (address will be emailed before class). 

Registration is $25 per student plus a materials fee of $7. All class materials are provided by the instructor. 

Accessibility: This class takes place in a backyard with slightly uneven ground. Seating is available at the backyard. The only restroom available during class is on the third floor of a private residence, accessible by stairs.  Masks will be required indoors (if applicable) and may be required outdoors if requested.
