Natural Dye Workshop
THE KITCHEN at the Boston Public Market
100 Hanover Street, Boston
Sunday, July 29, 9AM - 2PM
In this workshop, you will learn how to derive color from a variety of materials such as petals, berries, cones, found objects from the field, forest and your very own kitchen.
You will learn how to prepare your fibers for dyeing using simple mordants that can be collected from the garden or the woodland floor, and about overdyes and modifiers to alter your colors to produce lasting, naturally beautiful yarn.
Local resources are the heart of Tammy’s natural dyeing stock but, additionally, she sources through a variety of methods to obtain colors as sustainably as possible.
The class will begin with a demo which details preparation of fiber and dye stock, different methods of coloring your yarn, and samples of seasonal palettes.
There will be time to explore Eco Printing & Bundle Dyeing for varied prints and colors using leaves, flowers, nuts and bark.
We’ll explore the various methods of extracting color from a range of objects, a notebook is handy for this class.
The pace of the workshop is steady and relaxed, as there is no rushing natural dyeing.
We will ensure you have plenty of time to learn without becoming overwhelmed if you are new to dyeing, or ask questions and explore if you come with some background in dyeing.
We will break for lunch midway through the workshop.
