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.

Each culture has a unique approach to fashioning garlands\, but all cultures value their beauty and make them with care and skill. \nCome join fiber artist Lynn Martin Graton and learn two basic techniques to create fresh garlands for your seasonal celebrations\, weddings\, birthdays and more. The morning session will focus on using a braiding technique with freshly gathered ferns.  The afternoon session will focus on arranging flowers and greens on a core of raffia using a wrapping technique.  \nA selection of ferns and flowers will be provided\, but students are encouraged to bring more to add to the fun.  \nThe most appropriate flowers for this workshop are small with sturdy petals.They include: status\, straw flowers\, alstroemeria\, small chrysanthemums\, small rudbeckia\, miniature roses\, small marigolds\, baby’s breath\, leather leaf ferns\, wildflowers such as Goldenrod and other sturdy greens that can be separated into smaller parts.  \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 \nIncorporating fresh materials into a stable\, uniform braid\nIncorporating fresh materials into a stable\, uniform core using a wrapping technique\nDiscussions will focus on: \n\nThe different ways that cultures value and utilize fresh garlands for celebrations\nCultivating a garden for garlands\nResponsible harvesting of natural materials\nSensitivity to varying color and texture using fresh materials\nConsideration of best use of materials for specific occasions\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 Lynn Martin Graton \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 \nSmall clippers\nSmall spray bottle for water\nA container or basket to take garlands home\n\n \n \n \n \n \n Material Fee:\n \n \n \n \n \n \n$15.00 – $25.00 payable 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.
