Special Event: Natural Dye Class

  • Vail Valley Wellness 20 Eagle Road Avon, CO, 81620 United States (map)

Join Abbie Turner from Seed and Soul for a morning of creativity and exploration in extracting plant pigment while she teaches the art of bundle dyeing.

Students will learn the basics of bundle dyeing and create their own unique 100% silk scarf (24"x24" scarf) to take home. We will explore with extracting color from flowers, leaves, food scraps and even bugs! Students will learn how to shift the pH of the dyes which unlocks several different colors from each individual dye ingredient, it's a fun experimental style of art!

Abbie recommends coming to the workshop with an open mind and a creative spirit to fully embrace the wild magic of plant dyes.

Bundle dyeing is perfect for anyone looking to create abstract textile art with natural items.

No experience necessary, this class is open to all levels. This is a lovely class for mothers and daughters, besties or come alone and meet some new friends while you explore your creativity!

Attendees are encouraged to gather colorful flowers/plants the week prior to explore extracting pigment from nature, but not necessary. If they do chose to do this, they can bring fresh or dried plant matter to the class.

Additional textiles will be available to students if they wish to create another piece, and can be purchased day of class via venmo.
