Natural Painting & Dyeing with Plants

Learn how to create your own designs with mordant painting on fabric, then dye your pieces in a range of color sourced from the farm! Create your own designs with mordant painting on cotton fabric, then dye your pieces in a range of natural color sourced right from Frinklepod Farm. We will discuss the entire natural dye process and how to grow, forage, or purchase plant dyes. Leave with the confidence to continue exploring natural dyes on your own! No experience necessary and all materials provided. We will take a short break around noon. Feel free to bring a lunch or to buy some snacks from the Frinklepod Farm store. This workshop will take place at The Pod, the large building at Frinklepod Farm. Weather permitting, we will be outside (under cover), but may move indoors if necessary.
