This class will teach the basics of dyeing Fabric with mushrooms! We will study 2 or more mushrooms and create 4 or more colors with these mushrooms, learning about PH, mordants and more! You will get 2 silk scarves to play with and you will get to choose what colors to dye them with. Participants can also bring 1 small protein fiber item from home to dye in the exhaust baths (ie. wool, silk, ect.). Taught by Kristen Lucas of @naturally_dyed
This will be a fun class for all ages 12 and up.
Kristen Lucas has been an avid amateur mushroom hunter for 18 years and when learning about natural dyeing 7 years ago she found a way to incorporate her love of foraging and natural dyeing. Often you will find her and her husband out hunting for mushrooms; Kristen's bag full of dyeing mushrooms and her partners with edibles. Come join her for this fun and colorful workshop!
