Spring Into Color: The Wild and the Cultivated

  • cloth collaborative studio and workshop 1476 River Street Boston, MA, 02136 United States (map)

Celebrate the transition into Spring with a one day natural dye workshop focusing on cultivated daffodils and wild nettles. This is a great way to use spent daffodils, which will just be ending their flowering season, by transforming them into a dye that yields vibrant yellow shades. Nettles, that hardy, common urban plant gives bright yellow to olive green shades.In this workshop, we will share and experiment with harvesting dye plants, preparing a dye bath, the mordanting process, and dyeing as a way to connect more deeply with the land around us. You’ll leave with the skills needed to experiment on your own, and with two beautifully dyed pieces from class.
