In this workshop, Kirsten will walk you through three dye processes, all involving fresh material harvested directly from our field. She will begin with a discussion around types of fiber and respective scouring and mordanting methods appropriate to cellulose vs. protein fibers, then will outline three different dye processes, each yielding unique results. 

The dyeing techniques covered in this workshop include: Hapa-zome printing with blooms on silk bandanas; Fresh leaf indigo dyeing on a skein of 100% wool and Solar Dyeing hemp/cotton socks. Participants will also leave with an informational pamphlet full of common natural dye terms and processes, as well as best care practices for maintaining the integrity of naturally dyed garments over time.
