JUST LISTED!
Join Sasha onsite at the Fibershed Learning Center in Point Reyes Station for a day of exploring fall color and the natural palettes of seasonal color in Northern California. We will gather a variety of onsite ingredients, then make and use natural dye baths with those ingredients and others. Together we will create a local fall dye palette from a curated selection of gathered ingredients, including weeds and food and flora waste. Explore the nuances and beauty of color terroir, and create an array of take-home, naturally dyed textiles, saturated in the seasonal tones of West Marin.
Students should bring their own lunch, snacks, and beverages (water bottle/travel mug). Lunch is not provided.
Optional things to bring:
Jars to take home leftover dye
Apron and/or gloves if you want to protect your hands/clothes
Plastic bags to take home wet dye samples (we will also have some re-used bags available)
Small pieces of clean fabric — wool or silk (we will provide fabric, so this is extra)
Gardening gloves for the foraging portion of the class
