About the Class
Join renowned natural dyer, Sasha Duerr, for an exceptional, visiting workshop opportunity on natural dyes! We will meet at the Fibershed Learning Center in Point Reyes Station for a day of exploring the natural palettes of Northern California seasonal color, as late-spring offerings transition to early summer provisions.
We will gather a variety of plants and other ingredients on-site, then use them to make natural dyebaths.
Together we will create a hyper-local dye palette from a curated selection of gathered ingredients on-site, including weeds, food, and flora waste, and wield them into natural dyebaths for our natural colored conjurings.
Explore the nuances and beauty of color terroir, and create an array of take-home, naturally dyed textiles, saturated in the local seasonal tones of West Marin.
Maximum 16 students.
Participants must bring:
- Any personal snacks, lunch, and beverages. Coffee and tea will be provided.
- A notebook and pen for note taking is encouraged.
- Appropriate clothing and footwear: in case of dye stains, for harvesting and gathering plant material outdoors, etc
