We’ll take time to observe subtle patterns in nature as we forage for color\, seeing through the lens of the naturalist ink maker. Traditional ink making plant materials\, such as buckthorn berries and oak galls\, ground our color palette with durable bold tones\, while pokeweed and wild grape lend an ephemeral splash of brilliance. Beyond specific ink recipes\, students will gain an understanding of the general process for making natural dye-based inks. We will explore tannins in particular\, a family of plant chemicals responsible for many long-lasting dyes and inks\, including the classic indelible dark writing ink. Students will have a chance to experiment with the colors we create\, using various papers\, writing utensils\, and modifiers.

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.

Students will then dye the yarn and cloth samples in these dye baths. In the afternoon\, students will go to the dye garden to harvest several kinds of flowers to use in dye baths such as weld\, coreopsis\, calendula\, marigold\, rudbeckia\, and cosmos. The dye plants will then soak overnight to be used the next day in dye baths. Students will also dig madder root and prepare the root to be used for dyeing. Finally\, students will pick indigo leaves and extract the pigment using the water extraction method. This is a two-day process that will result in a dark blue “pudding” that can be used for a small dye vat.

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.

In this workshop\, Debbie will take students beyond the simple fold and clamp techniques. There will be a strong emphasis on working toward more detailed and intricate designs. Students will learn several different Arashi or pole wrapping techniques to achieve very unusual designs. Students will do itajime or fold and clamp\, but with dyeing and then moving the clamps and re-dyeing or itajime followed by arashi pole wrapping the same fabric. The stitching patterns will be as simple as Ori Nui done with simple basting style stitches to waves and circles and chevron effects. Students will learn how to pleat and then stitch cloth for the wonderful Katano designs. All dyeing will be done in organic indigo vats with no harsh chemicals. The final part of the class will focus on finishing fabrics to help with light fastness and wash fastness. All of the fabrics can be used for garments\, quilts\, scarves\, and or home decor. \nThere will be a separate class following this one if the students want to make a quilt with their newly dyed or previously dyed fabrics.  \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 \nMaking an organic indigo vat\nMaintaining an organic indigo vat\nHow to pre-treat fabrics to dye\nStitching\, folding\, and wrapping for precision\nAdvanced variations of techniques covered\nFinal finishing of fabrics\nHaving fun with experimentation – What would happen if I do this?\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 Debbie Maddy \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 wear clothes and shoes that they do not mind being blue\nStudents may bring fabric to dye but it must be prepared for dyeing\n\n \n \n \n \n \n Material Fee: \n \n \n \n \n \n \n$25.00-$30.00 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 — 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.
