Students will explore the art of fiber preparation and dyeing, discovering plants that thrive in their very own backyard, locally foraged treasures, and effective techniques for extracting vibrant pigments from dye sources. Through hands-on experience, they will craft exquisite dye card samples and have the opportunity to dye yarn or a silk scarf, showcasing a spectrum of colors that truly reflect their individual creativity.

Students can bring a notebook to take notes in and a jar or two if they want to take home leftover colors to try dyeing at home. A small quantity of wool or silk to dye additional fiber in class (if there is leftover dye).
