Event Details

Blending traditional Coast Salish knowledge with western science, Rita and Zoe bring an unparalleled scope of knowledge and experience in the field of natural dyeing in British Columbia.


This in-depth workshop will introduce students to the magic and wonder of natural dyeing using local sources. Students will learn the basics of foraging for dye materials as well as how to use these in practice to create beautiful colours. The workshop is a balance between traditional Coast Salish ecological knowledge and western science. Both perspectives provide students opportunities to deepen their connection with the natural world.

 

Each student will create a reference of dye samples to help guide further dyeing as well as their own sample skein to dye and take home.

A light lunch will be provided.
