This class builds a strong working knowledge of local ecology and basic textile arts skills. Taught over two Saturdays to support deep saturation of dyes, and knowledge!
Hosted at the Permaculture Gardens at the Regenerative Design Institute in Bolinas California
Walk through one of California’s gorgeous intact native landscapes and learn to identify and sustainably harvest native and naturalized species from the bio-diverse grounds of the Regenerative Design Institute. Take part in the step-by-step process of preparing your fabric for dye, and learn how to create your own dye vat with local plant materials. Pigments and a basic printing process will be shown with a variety of plants we harvest on site.
