Join us for a one-day immersive workshop exploring natural dyeing with plants local to the Blue Ridge mountains region of North Carolina. Workshop participants will learn how to process raw plant matter into natural dyes and introductory fabric dyeing techniques. The class will discuss eco-friendly mordanting processes and how to work with both animal and plant fibers. Students will leave with dye samples, lots of notes, and their own hand dyed silk scarf and cotton bandana made in class. No experience necessary. All materials included.
This class will be held at Township10 in North Carolina. Township10 is located 15 minutes from Marshall and 30 miles from Asheville.
About Township10: Nestled in the Blue Ridge mountains of western North Carolina, Township10 offers artists, writers and art professionals an intimate, private retreat to deepen their creative practice. The property, formerly the home of East Fork Pottery, has a restored farmhouse, a newly-constructed bunkhouse, an open pavilion, a broken-down tobacco barn, and generous studio facilities with a focus on ceramics. More than a collection of structures, this green mountain cove has a spirit and a presence that invites contemplation, making, and aliveness.
