SUMMARY:Natural Dye Basics: Harvesting Color from the Dye Garden
DESCRIPTION:Natural Dye Basics: Harvesting Color from the Dye Garden\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Sara Goodman \n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Wednesday\, August 3rd- Friday\, August 5th \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				In this workshop\, students will learn the varieties of natural dye plants that grow successfully in our region\, harvest and process plants used for natural dyes from the Sanborn Mills Farm dye garden\, and create dye baths with the fresh plant material to dye protein and cellulose fibers. The first day of this class will cover proper fiber preparation and mordanting for cellulose and protein fibers with both alum and iron. 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. If there is time\, the class may also make dye baths from dried plant materials from the 2021 harvest\, in order to compare the end results from fresh and dried plants \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 garden that can grow in our region\nMordanting fibers with alum and iron\nMaking dye baths from fresh dye materials: flowers\, leaves\, & roots\nExtracting indigo pigment from fresh indigo leaves: Persicaria tinctoria\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				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.
