Sunday, April 28, 2024 from 10am-4pm
In-person at the Botanical Colors Studio, Seattle WA
Join us for a urban forage natural dye workshop exploring the local seasonal color palettes of spring in Seattle with renowned author and textile artist Sasha Duerr.
This one day session will be offered to savor slow textiles and natural palettes and delicious edible dyestuffs. Participants will learn how to dye fabrics with seasonal plants as well as experience a colorful and delicious tasting menu crafted from the same ingredients and other regional delicacies.
Explore the art and design possibilities of making and applying hues from waste by-products of local produce, as well as foraged flora and foliage. We’ll learn to create natural colors from scratch with seasonal colors gleaned from locally grown materials, as well as weeds, windfall and waste.
The workshop begins at 10AM and adjourns at 4PM on Sunday April 28 and includes an array of small plates and noshes featuring edible dyestuff ingredients and local foods for our mid-day meal.
We will celebrate Sasha’s visit with a book signing and pop-up from right after the workshop from 4-6 PM where you can get a copy of her beautiful book, Natural Palettes signed, and shop dyes, tools, fabrics, books and more.
