Open to all skill levels!
Learn how to forage and dye with japanese knotweed root! We will talk about identification, invasive status in our area and where to find it growing. Then, we will create a dye bath with the foraged material. We will also learn about changing the color of dye baths by shifting the pH.
All participants will leave with an info packet containing a Materia Medica on japanese knotweed and dye instructions so you can have a guide to do your own dyeing after the workshop.
Suggested donation: $40
You will leave with fabric swatches we will dye in the workshop but if you would like to wear what we dye, we will have 21” x 21” silk scarves available to purchase for $10.
Workshop will be held in Newburgh, NY
