In this 3.5 hour seasonal dye class with Emily Auchincloss and Maggie Ruth Haaland, we will work with two beloved plants, nettles and indigo, to coax color onto cloth in a fun and welcoming environment. Participants will learn the basics of preparing an indigo vat, dyeing with nettles and indigo, and how to layer the two colors to get even more shades. There will be instruction in the medicinal and historical uses of these two powerful plants, as well as plenty of time to experiment and play with tie dye and other mechanical resist techniques. Two bandanas included in the cost of the class. Join us for an afternoon learning and creating in community!
