“Colors with particular landscapes, the restorative qualities of medicinal plants, common garden flora, lifestyle experiences, food and floral waste, and the ecological benefits of using organic materials to create colors. You may never view color—or your plants—the same way again.” NATURAL PALETTES (Princeton Architectural Press 2020)
In this 5 Week Online Fall Session, we’ll delve into the concepts of the deeply participatory and inspiring ways that plant-based color can instill wonder and connectedness in our everyday. With Sasha’s book NATURAL PALETTES as our guide for hands-on demos and plant-based recipes, we’ll explore natural color theory, and the immersive properties that holistic hues can connect us to, as well as take a deeper dive into regenerative design, color ecology, dye gardening, seed saving, and savoring the seasonal color palettes of fall.
All sessions will include visual slide shows + lectures, themed plant-dye recipes and process demos, as well as q+a discussions, helpful resources, and further inspiration to nurture a lifetime of learning and awe.
Each live course session will also be recorded so you can learn and work at your own pace.
