We're gonna be wine-ing and dyeing with natural dyer Liz Mortenson of Laila Textiles. Liz is joining us for a hands-on exploration of a couple of excellent 'natural' things: making lovely stuff with plant dyes, and drinking delicious low-intervention wines.
This is a three-hour workshop with a primary focus on discovering the art of natural dye and how to bundle dye with plants. The ATN team will punctuate the experience with a guided natural wine tasting and picnic-style dinner.
Liz's natural dyeing workshop will cover:
- Basics of natural dyeing including fabric prep, mordants, and modifiers
- Overview of natural dye plants and how to extract plant dye
- How to naturally bundle dye fabric with plants
- Each student will create and leave with a one-of-a kind bundle dyed 100% silk scarf as well as a PDF with information covered at workshop
Ticket includes natural dyeing workshop and all materials, guided tasting of three natural wines, and light dinner.
