with Iris Weaver, Herbalist & Professional Gardener

Vivid reds, bright yellows, rich purples, deep blues, and mossy greens--an amazing array of colors can be extracted from plants. Learn about the ancient art of natural dyeing, using plants and a few simple ingredients to dye fibers and fabrics like wool, silk, and cotton. You'll be introduced to the basics of natural dyeing through a demonstration, and learn about the wide range of plants that produce color, and which can be grown in your own garden. Students will go home with several dyed samples produced in class.
