In this hands-on workshop, learn the process of creating handmade dye and ink using plant pigments from natural dye baths! Students will learn the basics of natural dyeing with shibori resist methods to dye a cotton bandana, as well as methods for extracting pigments to create a palette of liquid inks.
These inks will be employed to experiment with mark making, pattern, and visual color stories on paper and fiber to connect with local flora throughout the season. All materials will be provided. Create beautiful, one of a kind pieces that can be enjoyed for years to come, while taking time to slow down and appreciate the richness and diversity of plant pigments dwelling alongside us.
