Natural Dye Class at The Ranch
*The event has already taken place on this date: Thu, 09/19/2024
Let’s spend a day learning how to create natural dyes from food waste and flowers! Together we will explore how commonly thrown out or composted food items and flowers that grow in Southern California can transform into vibrant eco-friendly dyes that bring new life and joy to textiles. This class will invite you to step into exploring the possibilities of botanical dyeing while simultaneously fostering a deeper connection with nature. Together we will explore each of the five steps of the dyeing process outlined below that will set you up for success so you feel confident to start on your botanical dyeing journey.
