Did you know that thousands of natural materials, from the marigolds and dahlias that you grow to the avocado pits and carrot stems that you compost, contain naturally-occurring pigments? These pigments can be used to dye fabric, yarn, and even paper. Natural dyeing is a wonderful and fascinating way to learn about the hidden colors in nature and to produce unique and eco-conscious pieces for your wardrobe. Join us for a workshop to learn about, and create color with natural, botanical materials. Sylvia DeMar, a frequent instructor with the Alexandria Art League, will share some of the fascinating history of natural dyeing and the wide array of plants that produce color. She will lead a demonstration of the process of preparing a dye bath, then guide participants in dyeing their own pieces. Attendees will have the opportunity to create two scarves - one silk and one cotton - dyed with plant materials found at River Farm.
