Natural Dyeing Workshop
July 31 – August 1, 9-4
by Donna Foley
On Day 1, Donna will focus on working with local plants as well as dyestuffs like madder root and cochineal bugs. It is a bit like creating fun soups of color.
Day 2 is more of a scientific approach, using natural dye extracts to create a palette of reproducible color.
This is a two day class. Class will be held at Fiber Arts on 4th, 6463 4th St NW, Los Ranchos De Albuquerque. More details including materials fee will be available soon.
