Craft at Risk: Using Natural Dyes

Eco printing is a great technique for those new to natural dyes. It has a great visual impact, is easy, and everyone comes away with somethingโ€”in this case, a piece of silk fabric and dyed watercolour paper. Natural dyeing, the process of adding colour to textile materials through the use of natural materials such as plants or animals, was added to the 2024 Craft at Risk List and listed as Endangered.
Cost: $40 plus HST. 10% discount for Rooms members. All materials included. Register online!
