Natural Dyeing Workshop

In this workshop you will learn how to use plants to create beautiful, colorful dyes for multiple uses. You will create your own natural dyes from plants and learn to apply those dyes safely and effectively to fabrics, creating unique designs with colors that emerge from the forest plants of WNC.
