Learning Garden Presents: Introduction to Botanical Dyeing

Presenter: Pat Strang and Joyce Tromba, Extension Master GardenerSM Volunteers

This is an in-person program, held at The Learning Garden. You will learn about the plants that are easiest to grow and cultivate for natural dyes. You will have hands-on experience with collecting the plant matter, making the dye bath, and then dying samples of various fibers using weld, one of the heritage dye plants. In addition to the sample fibers, you will also dye a cotton napkin to take home.

Registration: Registration is required. To ensure a good learning experience, attendance will be limited. Please click on the link below to register. If you encounter problems registering or if you have questions, call 828-255-5522.
