Fall Series - Black Walnut

Our intention with these workshops is to teach participants how to utilize the plants we will be focusing on, creatively and medicinally. A vast majority of plants will produce beautiful ranges of color as well as having medicinal benefits that enhance physical and mental well being.

Open to all skill levels - these workshops will demonstrate how multi-faceted plants, mostly invasives, can be.

Open to all skill levels!

For our last workshop of 2025, we will be working with black walnuts! A familiar sight for most people in the northeast, you can find them scattered all over the ground during this time of year. In this workshop, we will learn how to identify the trees, discuss the native status and extract the rich color!

Join us as we create a communal dye bath with black walnuts in Sasha’s cast iron cauldron. :) We will then experiment with silk scraps, ribbons, and yarn on your own lap loom to weave a textural tapestry - layering together naturally dyed materials to create a piece that reflects the landscape around us.

Each participant will leave their own small tapestry, an info packet with a materia medica and instructions on how to dye yarn on your own as well.

Cost: $60

This workshop will be held in Walkill, NY. The address will be emailed to participants a day or two before the workshop.
