PLANT DYES- FORAGING FOR HOME + FASHION Online Workshop with Plant Connection SF

Fennel1.jpeg

Working with natural color can be a way to forage for beautiful natural hues and connect with your local ecologies- even in your own backyard or urban neighborhood, considering what is abundant, in-season, accessible, and even invasive.

In this two- hour online workshop we'll work with three locally and seasonally available foraged plant-dye color recipes for the San Francisco Bay Area focusing on ingredients from wild and urban sources and the stunning color palettes that can be created from local weeds, plant waste, your backyard garden or even urban sidewalk. We'll also learn about the overlapping aspects of medicinal and edible aspects of our foraged color palettes- creating further context and depth to the plant-based hues we create.

Together we'll orientate toward the basics of foraging for fashion, reviving your home and wardrobe with plant-made palettes and simple, yet stunning pattern design techniques, and get started with natural dye ingredients, tools and recipes to cook with local and seasonal color.
