About this Event
Join us for the Natural Dyes Workshop at Pine Meadow Ranch Center for Arts & Agriculture!
This is the third event in a series of Natural Dye Workshops with artist Madelaine Corbin.
Get ready to learn more about the fascinating world of natural dye at Pine Meadow Ranch Center for Arts & Agriculture.
This in-person event will take place on Sunday, August 4th, 2024, starting at 10:00 a.m. (Pacific Standard Time).
In this one-day workshop, participants will learn advanced techniques in layering natural dyes over various resist methods and overdyeing techniques. The workshop will delve into resist methods such as clamping, binding, sewing, and more, enabling participants to create intentional patterns on fabric beneath layers of natural color. Using pre-mordanted fabric and dye sourced from plants cultivated at Pine Meadow Ranch, attendees will craft two finished textiles, including a silk scarf and cotton bandana, made from plant and animal fibers.

About the Instructor:
is a multidisciplinary artist based primarily in Oregon in the United States. Corbin received an MFA from Cranbrook Academy of Art in Fiber and BFA from Oregon State University. Her research-based practice moves fluidly between drawing, writing, sculpture, textiles, and natural dyeing. Corbin’s work is informed by her participation in the New York Arts Practicum, immersive study in Greece, and as an artist-in-residence and research assistant in a chemistry lab where she helped to synthesize and characterize a new blue. Corbin recently authored The Stuff of Everyday Magic, a book about her research adventures into the color blue. Her work has been supported in the form of residencies at the Oak Spring Garden Foundation, The Bloedel Reserve Creative Residency in Research, Prairie Ronde Artist Residency, Pine Meadow Artist Residency, and The League of Stars. Corbin’s work has been recognized by awards including a fellowship to attend Haystack Mountain School of Crafts in 2019, the 2020 Mercedes-Benz Emerging Artist Award bestowed by Cranbrook Academy of Art, Honorable Mention for the 2020 Dorothy Waxman International Textile Design Award, and the 2020 Redmond Design Prize.
