Description
Join Environmental artist Molly Koehn to learn how to craft natural dyes, derived from organic materials such as onion skins, avocado peels, and turmeric, and other items found in nature. Experiment with a variety of colors and patterns by painting with thickened mordants, substances used in natural dyeing to create lasting colors on cloth. Mordants can shift the tones and saturation levels of natural dyes, so that a wide range of colors can be created in a single dye vat–or even on a single piece of cloth!
This class will include mimosas. Participants will get one cotton bandana and a silk scarf.
Participants will design, paint, and dye one bandana and learn tips to repeat the process at home.
