An Eco-Centered Craft -- Natural Dyes offer the best of so many worlds. The Arts, Crafts, Nature, Cooking, Science + Math. If you've ever looked into it, you might have been intimidated (e.g. fiber-types, scour, mordant, temperatures, quantities, and of course, so many dyes?!?). At this hands-on, experiential workshop you'll learn the basics so you can go home, ready to experiment with a wide range of fiber-fabric types, mordants, and natural dyestuffs. Join Jeanine Ertl, Owner, Weaver & Dyer of ANINI Designs, as she dives into a brief history of Natural Dyes, Fabric Types, and Process. We'll Scour, Mordant, Dye and Rinse together, learning the basics of an ancient art form and practice.
