About this event

Description

This activity is either for information only, has other means of registration, or not available for online registration. Please contact us during regular business hours if you have questions.

This one-day workshop will guide students in how to process flowers, leaves, berries, bark, and roots, with the goal of creating a delicate fall palette on natural textiles.
Beginning and experienced natural dyers will be introduced to the dye potential of plants available during springtime in the Willamette Valley, while taking in some of the stunning landscapes, diverse ecosystems, and rich cultural heritage that the Pacific Northwest is treasured for. Plant identification and responsible harvest will be emphasized. Students will learn how to use non-toxic mordants on animal and plant fibers (wool, silk, cotton).
By the end of this workshop, students will feel confident with the process of natural dying, leaving with extensive notes, samples, 2 naturally dyed textiles & a WildCraft Natural Dye Craftbook.
The City of Lake Oswego is pleased to partner with WildCraft Studio to bring you a series of natural dyes workshops hosted at Luscher Farm.
