PLANT TONES FALL HARVEST ONLINE WORKSHOP WITH BOTANICAL COLORS
Sasha Duerr returns to offer a Plant Tones Fall Harvest Workshop featuring fall colors and foraging.
PLANT TONES Fall Harvest Workshop with Sasha Duerr is a two-day online workshop. It will delve into the wonder and nature of living color “stories.” Sasha will guide students in a variety of ways to connect us both practically and poetically to plant-based color palettes. And she will use her latest book NATURAL PALETTESas inspiration.
This workshop will focus on conceptual aspects of working with plant-based hues. In addition, it will explore the basic steps of getting started with plants as ingredients for unique, personalized and vibrant color. Sasha will also highlight ways in which NATURAL PALETTES can widen our “color senses.” She shares examples of experimentation, fieldwork, plant-based research and identification, documentation, as well as regenerative tips for reuse, zero waste, and experiential meaningful practices in the process.
Besides teaching accessible step-by-step and practical ways to begin, Sasha will also share conceptual inspiration through slides and visuals. She has helpful tools, techniques and resources for creating your own -or collective – deepened relationship with plant-based color and the awe-inspiring nuanced palettes they can create.
The workshop will culminate in sharing a wide array of natural “color stories.” You can share your own uniquely foraged, gathered or grown plant-based palette. This palette will be created as a result of experimentation and exploration in our class with Sasha Duerr.
DETAILS
Class price is for one participant and one kit will be sent with registration.
The class will be held as a Zoom meeting with a dedicated TA to manage the chat, questions and any follow up.
Pre-work requirement: we will be sending you wool fabric, mordant, and auxiliaries and two natural dyes for your experiments. Sasha will instruct you to pre-mordant your fabrics to be ready for class. You will receive enough fabric to create approximately 48-60 samples. Our class will dye 16 of these samples together, freeing you to experiment on your own time. You will also forage for seasonal and local plants, bark, cones or other materials to create palettes of your own. A full materials list will be sent to you shortly after registration.
This class uses wool fabrics to create our palettes. Sasha says that you can supply your own other natural fabrics such as silk, cotton, hemp, linen and will provide information on how to prepare the fibers for the class.
Class dates: October 2 and 3, 2021 (Saturday and Sunday). Class times are 11-2:30 Pacific (2-5:30 Eastern) and 9-11:30 Hawaii
