About the Class: 

Print fabric with Plants in this Natural Eco Print + Bundle Dye workshop using seasonal organic plant material including local + native flower and leaves. Create an organic naturally dyed bandana and scarf, through exploration using flowers and leaves to transfer dyes and prints.

Learn about the dye properties of the selected plants and trees of the season, including their special and unique properties. The impacts of the seasons and the environment on color and chemical composition of plants. Through demonstration of techniques and viewing examples for creating various effects with bundle dyeing and examples to observe, students will create hands on stunning textile art from nature. 

Each Student will create and take home a natural dyed organic bandana and silk scarf. Take home not just beautiful creations, but also a deeper understanding of nature's palette. Join us for an immersive journey into the artistry of eco-friendly textile design!
