Learn the best way to prepare your fiber for natural dyeing, and how to extract pigment from a plant, and how to dye your fiber. \
Madder, is one of the heritage colors used for thousands of years. The pigment comes from the roots of the plant which must grow for at least three years to be big enough to harvest. The pigment alizarin produces a range of colors from orange to red.
We have a few madder plants left for sale at 5 dollars each. Everyone will also take home a cotton bandana that they have dyed.
We request a donation of 10 dollars to cover our cost. Please bring cash.
Wear appropriate attire as some of this presentation will be held outside.
