Immerse yourself in the art of natural dyeing in this two-day hands-on workshop led by Kathleen Adams Olsen. Using plants and materials sourced from nature, you’ll explore the creative possibilities of botanical dyes while connecting with the natural world.
Day 1 Sat. June 7th: Begin with a guided foraging session on the property, gathering plants and materials to create your own stunning, naturally dyed fabrics. We will dye both silk organza and fine linen in preparation for day 2. On day one we will also dive into different natural dyeing techniques, and the unique characteristics of each botanical source.
Day 2 (Optional) Sun. June 8th: Turn your dyed pieces into a multi layered and dimensional wall hanging, window covering or a traditional Japanese curtain known as a Noren. Using the fabrics you dyed on the first day we will further embellish and piece them using simple linen thread and hand stitching techniques to create a beautiful and functional piece of art for your home.
Refreshments and dessert offered, please bring your own lunch.
Workshop Options:
Day 1 Only (June 7th): Participate in the foraging and dyeing session and take home your custom-dyed fabrics.
Two-Day Experience (June 7th+8th): Complete the full experience, receiving guidance in piecing, layering and stitching your pieces from Day 1 into a personalized wall hanging, curtain or Noren on Day 2.
This workshop is perfect for anyone looking to explore natural dyeing, creativity, and connection with nature and community. All materials are provided, and no prior experience is necessary. Remember to measure a doorway, window or wall space where you intend to use your hand-crafted textile and bring it with you! For day two we will be stitching, all supplies will be provided but if you have personal favorite tools to use feel free to bring them!
