Colors from the Kitchen

Colors from the Kitchen: Sourcing Natural Dyes from Food Waste

In this class we will explore how to create a repeated pattern on cotton bandanas using plant dyes by block printing mordants on fabric. While we'll be focusing mainly on this specific process, we'll also introduce some relevant natural dyeing practices and history. Students will carve their own block to print with during the workshop.
