During this workshop, we will identify regional plants used for dyeing and learn the basics of various natural dye processes. We will then use a variety of regional plants to dye fabric together in a process called bundle dyeing. All materials for dyeing will be provided, however participants will also be encouraged to bring plants that hold personal significance—so that different nyc spaces and geographies are represented in the dyed textiles.
Before the start of the workshop participants will receive a handout with helpful resources, should they wish to prepare any materials beforehand. Masks are required during this workshop.
