Natural Dyeing with Logwood

Discover the magic of natural dyeing in this hands-on workshop, where we’ll explore the rich, vibrant purples of logwood—a centuries-old dye material with incredible depth and beauty. Whether you're new to natural dyeing or looking to expand your skills, this class is a fantastic introduction to working with plant-based color.

During this workshop, you’ll learn:

🧺 How to properly prep fibers for dyeing including protein (silk, wool) and plant-based (cotton, linen) fibers
🌊 How to prepare a logwood dye vat for maximum color extraction
🎨 The art of natural dyeing—experimenting with shade variations, modifiers, and techniques

You’ll also create sample swatches to explore different tones and techniques, then dye two beautiful, functional pieces to take home:
✨ A hand-dyed silk scarf in a rich, vivid purple
🛍 A dyed cotton net bag—perfect for springtime farmers’ market visits

Tickets include all materials, and no prior experience is needed—just bring your curiosity! This is a great class for anyone interested in slow fashion, eco-friendly textiles, natural dyeing, and sustainable creativity.
