Bring your own natural-fiber yarn, fabric, or clothing to dye with plants! No previous experience required, though past students and seasoned natural dyers are welcome. Everyone can bring up to 300g of material to dye. 

The first session will cover mordanting, a crucial step which enables plant pigment to bond to the fiber, and we'll walk through the processes of mordanting both cellulose (plant) and protein (animal) fibers. The second session will offer 2 different colored natural dye baths to choose from, yellow or red, each made from traditional dye plants to give your garments, fabric, or fiber a fresh vibrant color!

IMPORTANT: Natural dyes only work on natural fiber materials (cotton, linen, help wool, silk, etc. - no polyester or other synthetics). Make sure your fiber/fabric/clothing is thoroughly scoured or washed before the first class. Clothing that has been worn before can simply be washed and dried as usual, preferably without any fabric softener or dryer sheets. Wool yarn that hasn't been washed before, or fabric fresh off the roll, should be scoured according to these instructions. Contact Emma at emmapercy@proton.me with any questions or if you need detergent or soda ash for scouring.

Saturday, August 22, 2026 | 10A - 12:30P | One-day workshop | $75

Learn how to make beautiful handmade paper out of plant fibers, recycled scrap paper, and flowers! We will go through the traditional western-style hand papermaking process step-by-step: understanding different types of fiber, how to source and process fibers, making pulp, forming sheets, adding decorative inclusions, and pressing and drying the sheets. Everyone will make several pieces of paper to use for their own art and craft projects, for writing letters, or simply to appreciate as art in its own right. You'll also learn strategies for making paper at home in a relatively small space without the need for much specialized equipment. Please wear clothing and shoes that you don’t mind getting wet!

Supplies: $20 materials fee payable to the Teaching Artist on the day of the workshop.
