Please join naturalist and botanist, Jazmen Yoder for a day of foraging and wildcrafting in this indoor/outdoor workshop.
This course will focus on teaching you how to dye wool with nature’s offerings. Pre-treated wool sheets* will be provided to all participants to use in the dyeing portion of this workshop.
*Pre-treatment steps will be discussed at length during our lesson so that everyone knows exactly how to treat fabric before using natural dye in the future.

WHAT TO EXPECT
We’ll spend some time outside during the first portion of this course looking for plants, mushrooms, and lichen that can be used to make natural dyes. We will forage for multiple dye plant species while we’re out and take the materials back to the venue to process and begin the second portion of the workshop.
Back at the Chuckanut Center around 4pm, we’ll use the kitchen to craft several natural dyes together. Each person will be provided with two sheets of white, pretreated wool fabric.
Each participant has the opportunity to experiment however they want with the various dye pots we craft. In previous classes, students walked away with 6-8 dyed cuts ranging in color (red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple, brown, black and pink were previously attained).
In the final portion of this class, you can make a sachet of aromatic herbs using pieces of your dyed fabric.
