Food scraps shouldn’t go to waste. Don’t toss them into the compost bin yet; reuse food stuff to naturally dye textiles! In this workshop, play and experiment with items found right in your kitchen. The class will cover creating dye baths using tea, onion skins, avocados, pomegranate seeds, and black beans. Participants will leave with a test strip from each dye bath to keep for future reference. Please bring in one to two items from home to dye (a scarf, small shirt, or thin skirt) made of 100% natural fibers (white cotton, silk or wool).
