We will start by learning how to identify natural versus manufactured fibers (fabrics and yarns), and how to set up a safe fabric and paper dyeing studio at home. The instructor will explain how to prep fabric for dyeing, including how to safely scour and mordant fiber. She will describe how different types of fibers interact with and absorb natural dyes; how to responsibly harvest and forage for natural materials in your neighborhood; and how to begin to identify plants, kitchen waste and spices that are safe to use and yield color. The instructor will also provide resources for learning more about local plants. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eParticipants will complete two projects which intersect natural dyeing and print-making — bundle dyeing and petal and leaf pounding.
