Introduction to Natural Dyes & Upcycle Project

€80.00

(by appointment)

This is an important practice to introduce you to the world of plant-based dyes, how they work, and how to prepare both the plants and the fabrics in order to extract color and apply it effectively across the fabric.

Various plants, fruits, and vegetables can be used, such as onion skins, turmeric, avocado pits, marigold flowers, and more.

Participants will learn how to create a successful dye bath, use two different mordants, and prepare the fabric before dyeing. They will also learn what kinds of plants can be used to extract colors.

Students will be able to bring 1 undyed medium size piece of 100% natural fabric (cotton, linen, silk, wool, viscose, etc.) to be dyed and reused with a different color such as a tshirt, tote bag, shirt..

Additionally, we will create together your first mini color sample using silk, linen, and cotton.

  • Fabric samples & threads for creating a color palette

  • All necessary equipment

  • Notes

Duration: 3 hours
