Come learn about the science and magic of plant dyes while you create your own botanically dyed bandana. We will discuss fibers and plant pigments before diving into a variety of plants and design options. Using the bundle dye method, we will steam and infuse botanicals into our bandanas. No experience is necessary, all students receive 1 hand sewn cotton bandana along with guidance and many flowers, pigment rich plants, and modifiers to create their own unique pattern. Students will take home their finished bandana at the end of class.
