Workshop at John C Campbell Folk School, Brasstown, NC
Use natural dyes grown in western North Carolina to create a rainbow of color options. Identify dye plants and learn how to incorporate them in the home landscape, best growing conditions, and practices for harvest and storage. Explore multiple mordanting and natural dyeing techniques, including eco-printing and surface design. Create a sample book with your results and a collection of dyed cloth suitable for simple garments and accessories.
