Each class will include the basics of proper fiber preparation as well as an orientation to the studio’s procedures and practices. \nIn this workshop\, students will learn to use foraged wild materials for use in the dye pot. On the first day of class\, students will learn the proper fiber preparation and mordanting for cellulose and protein fibers with both alum and iron. Protein (yarn) and cloth samples will be dyed in these baths. The class will then go outdoors to collect dye materials. At this time of year there\, there will be many materials available for collection. Students will collect leaves from trees\, nuts\, bark\, wildflowers\, roots and lichen. The class will then return to the studio with their collected dye treasures to photograph\, identify\, and prepare the material for dyeing. Most collected material will require an overnight soak before being made into a bath. Possibilities for modifying colors by changing pH\, adding iron\, and over-dyeing with indigo will be explored. \nStudents should be prepared to walk the grounds of Sanborn Mills Farm\, including woods paths\, trails\, and fields.  \n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Skills + Techniques\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Students will learn: \n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\nFiber preparation: scouring for cellulose and protein\nIdentifying dye materials in the field\nExploring\, collecting\, and processing foraged dye material\nMordanting with alum and iron\nMaking samples of dye colors on different fibers for record keeping\n\n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Instructor\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Sara Goodman \n			\n				Learn More \n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Tools + Materials\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Students should bring: \n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\nStudents should dress and prepare for walking outside in the woods\, trails\, and fields\nGardening gloves and clippers\nStudents are welcome to bring dye stuffs with them that they have collected on their own for the group to try\n\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Material Fee: \n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n$50 includes fabric for samples\, all dyes and assists\, notebook of recipes and instructions paid at time of workshop\n\n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				COVID-19 \n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\nPlease read our COVID-19 Policy prior to registering\nWe are honoring each instructor’s specific COVID-19 safety requests.

Each class will include the basics of proper fiber preparation as well as an orientation to the studio’s procedures and practices. \nThis is truly a class about color! In this workshop\, students will dye yarn as skeins or in wound warps for weaving. Students use immersion baths to dye the fiber all one color and make dyes into thickened paints for painting skeins and warps different colors. It is rare\, in introductory dye classes\, to ever get to the stage of mixing colors and inventing new combinations. In this workshop\, students will explore this process\, both in the dye baths and for the paints. At the time of the workshop\, plants will be ready to use for dyeing from the Sanborn Mills Farm dye garden. Students will also use concentrated dye extracts to make into stock solutions for mixing paints. An indigo vat will be available for over-dyeing the mordant dye colors to get deep purples\, greens and browns. \n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Skills + Techniques\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Students will learn: \n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\nFiber preparation: scouring for cellulose and protein\nPreparing skeins and warps for dyeing with proper tying\nMordanting with alum and iron\nMaking stock solutions from concentrated dye extracts\nUsing dye extracts in immersion baths and as thickened paints\nPainting\, or space dyeing\, skeins and warps with different colors\nSteaming the painted yarn to fix the dye\nUsing fresh and dried plant materials from the dye garden in immersion baths\nOver-dyeing with indigo to achieve purples\, greens and browns\nShifting colors by modifying ph and using iron post-baths\n\n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Instructor\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Sara Goodman \n			\n				Learn More \n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Tools + Materials\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Students should bring: \n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\nAll materials will be provided.

SUMMARY:Natural Dye Basics: Fresh Leaf Indigo and Pigment Extraction
DESCRIPTION:Natural Dye Basics: Fresh Leaf Indigo and Pigment Extraction\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Sara Goodman \n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Thursday\, July 7th- Saturday\, July 9th  \n9:00am – 5:00pm \n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Workshop Overview\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				The Natural Dye Basics workshop series at Sanborn Mills Farm is taught by our lead teacher\, Sara Goodman. This series of 5 classes are an introduction to the colorful world of natural dyes. Each class stands alone — take one or take them all! Each class will include the basics of proper fiber preparation as well as an orientation to the studio’s procedures and practices. \nIn this workshop\, students will learn to dye with fresh indigo leaves and the water extraction method for extracting indigo pigment from freshly harvested plants. There are several varieties of plants that contain indigotin pigment that are used by traditional cultures all over the world to obtain the color blue. At Sanborn Mills Farm\, we grow Persicaria tinctoria\, also known as Polygonum or Japanese indigo. For this pigment to be accessible to dyers\, it must be extracted from the leaves and then put into an alkaline solution with a reducing agent. This turns the liquid greenish yellow. After the fiber is removed from the vat looking green\, the magic happens right before your eyes as it oxidizes. \nStudents will first work with fresh indigo harvested from the dye garden at Sanborn Mills Farm. Using fresh leaves\, ice cubes\, and a blender\, students will dye silk scarves immediately for a lovely blue. Students can experiment with multiple batches to deepen the color.  \nStudents will then use the water extraction process to extract pigment from freshly harvested indigo leaves. In this two-day process\, students will soak\, aerate\, precipitate\, and filter indigo. Then\, students will use this pigment to make an indigo vat for dyeing protein and cellulose. \nThe essentials of fiber preparation\, scouring for different kinds of fibers\, and finishing will be covered for best results. Silk scarves and cotton cloth will be used for samples in class. White bandanas\, and cotton t-shirts will be available for students to purchase if desired. Students may also bring some used clothing for over-dyeing and up-cycling if they wish to work on them after regular class hours. Students will finish the class with a selection of samples and a notebook of recipes and techniques. \n            \n  \n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Skills + Techniques\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Students will learn: \n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				  \n\nHow to use fresh leaf indigo to quickly dye protein fibers\nHow to extract indigo pigment from fresh indigo leaves\nHow to make a vat using the extracted pigment\nHow to properly use and maintain the vat\nFiber preparation: scouring cloth for best results\nFinishing the cloth after dyeing: neutralizing\, curing\, and washing\nOver-dyeing other colors to make green\, purple\, and brown\n\n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Instructor\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Sara Goodman \n			\n				Learn More \n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Tools + Materials\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Students should bring: \n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\nAll materials will be provided\nStudents may bring 1 or 2 pieces of their own clothing for embellishment\, over-dyeing\, or up-cycling\n\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Material Fee: \n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n$50.00 includes fabric for samples\, all dyes and assists\, notebook of recipes and instructions paid at time of workshop\nAlso available for purchase at time of workshop are Bandanas for $2.00 and T-shirts for $5.00\n\n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				COVID-19 \n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\nPlease read our COVID-19 Policy prior to registering\nWe are honoring each instructor’s specific COVID-19 safety requests.

SUMMARY:Natural Dye Basics: Mordant Dyes on Cloth
DESCRIPTION:Natural Dye Basics: Mordant Dyes on Cloth\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Sara Goodman \n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Thursday\, May 12th – Saturday\, May 14th \n9:00am – 5:00pm \n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Workshop Overview:\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				The Natural Dye Basics workshop series at Sanborn Mills Farm is taught by our lead teacher\, Sara Goodman. This series of 5 classes are an introduction to the colorful world of natural dyes. Each class stands alone — take one\, or take them all! Each class will include the basics of proper fiber preparation as well as an orientation to the studio’s procedures and practices. \nIn this workshop\, students will learn how to properly mordant cloth in order to ensure good dye results and how to create a wide range of colors with natural dyes through the application of mordants on cloth. Students will first learn proper fiber preparation to ensure good dye results\, including the difference treatments for plant and animal fibers. Then\, students will learn the process of mordanting. For some reason\, this intimidates people\, but it shouldn’t—students will learn that the key is to know the range of mordant options and pair your chosen method with how you will apply the dye. This workshop will use only two mordants: alum and iron. Other metals can be used mordants\, but they can be unsafe and there are more sustainable options to create a full range of color. Students will explore mordants applied in hot and cold immersion baths\, mordants thickened and used for printing\, and mordants discharged with a citric acid solution for interesting effects. Then\, students will dye using three dye souces: fresh dye plant materials (due to the time of year of the workshop)\, dried flowers from the previous summer’s harvest\, and different concentrated extracts. Students will use these dyes in immersion baths and as thickened pastes for printing and painting. An indigo vat will be available for over-dyeing. Finishing techniques for steaming and cleaning will end the class. \n  \n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Skills + Techniques\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Students will learn: \n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\nFiber preparation: scouring for cellulose and protein\nMordanting in hot and cold immersion baths with alum and iron\nPrinting on cloth with thickened mordants\nUsing concentrated dye extracts in immersion baths and as thickened paints\nUsing fresh and dried plant materials from the garden and forest\nMaking samples of dye colors on different fibers for record keeping\nDischarging mordants\n\n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Instructor\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Sara Goodman \n			\n				Learn More \n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Tools + Materials\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Students should bring: \n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\nAll materials will be provided\n\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Material Fee: \n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n$50.00 includes fabric for samples\, all dyes and assists\, notebook of recipes and instructions paid at time of workshop\n\n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				COVID-19 \n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\nPlease read our COVID-19 Policy prior to registering\nWe are honoring each instructor’s specific COVID-19 safety requests.

This series of 5 classes are an introduction to the colorful world of natural dyes. Each class stands alone — the classes do not need to be taken in order. Each class will include the basics of proper fiber preparation as well as an orientation to the studio’s procedures and practices. Upon completion of any one of these classes\, students may arrange to work in the studio individually\, when it is open\, for a use fee.  \nThere are several varieties of plants that contain indigotin pigment that are used by traditional cultures all over the world to obtain the color blue. At Sanborn Mills Farm\, we grow Persicaria tinctoria\, also known as Japanese indigo. For this pigment to be accessible to dyers\, it must be extracted from the leaves and then put into an alkaline solution with a reducing agent. This turns the liquid greenish yellow. After the fiber is removed from the vat looking green\, the magic happens right before your eyes as it oxidizes. \nThis workshop will cover the basics of working with powdered natural indigo extract to make and maintain a vat for long term use using ferrous sulfate as the reduction agent. Other natural vats\, using organic materials such as henna or fruit sugar will be discussed and demonstrated if there is interest. The advantage of the iron vat is that it is very stable\, so advantageous in a workshop setting. The essentials of fiber preparation\, scouring for different kinds of fibers\, and finishing will be covered for best results. Basic shibori techniques using stitching (mokume)\, pole wrapping (arashi)\, and clamping (itajime) will be taught. We will also explore ways to use clay paste resist (for painting and printing) and Japanese rice paste resist technique (katazome) with stencils. We will be working primarily with cellulose fiber (cotton\, linen etc.). Protein (silk\, wool\, etc.) will be discussed and samples shown. Cotton cloth will be used for samples in class. White bandanas\, and cotton t-shirts will be available for students to purchase if desired. Students may also bring some used clothing for over-dyeing and up-cycling if they wish to work on them after regular class hours. Students will finish the class with a selection of samples and a notebook of recipes and techniques. \nThe indigo extract used in this workshop will be extract that is available commercially. To learn how to extract indigotin pigment from fresh plants and process your own extract\, see our workshop Fresh Leaf Indigo and Pigment Extraction in the Natural Dye Basics series.  \n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Skills + Techniques\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Students will learn: \n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\nHow to make a natural indigo vat with indigo extract powder and ferrous sulfate as the reducing agent\n How to properly use and maintain the vat\nFiber preparation: scouring cloth for best results\nFinishing the cloth after dyeing: neutralizing\, curing\, and washing\n Three resist techniques: shibori\, clay resist\, and rice paste resist\nOver-dyeing indigo with other colors to make green\, purple\, and brown\n\n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Instructor\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Sara Goodman \n			\n				Learn More \n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Tools + Materials\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Students should bring: \n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\nStudents may bring 1 or 2 pieces of their own clothing for embellishment\, over-dyeing or up-cycling\n\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Material Fee: \n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n$50.00 includes fabric for samples\, all dyes and assists\, notebook of recipes and instructions paid at time of workshop\nBandanas $2.00\nT-shirts $5.00\n\n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				COVID-19 \n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\nPlease read our COVID-19 Policy prior to registering\nWe are honoring each instructor’s specific COVID-19 safety requests.
