Summer Series - Garden Dyes

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!

A little change from our regular workshops. July is full of so many beautiful blooms in the garden, we wanted to enjoy the bounty! In this workshop, we will learn about how to make your own dye garden and utilize it! We will also talk about how to plan your garden, germinate seeds, and bloom times.

Join us as we create a communal dye bath with blooms we pick from the garden which will include coreopsis, rudbeckia and/or dyer’s chamomile. We will then make a face scrub out of the German chamomile harvested from the garden.

Each participant will leave their own dyed silk scarf, an info packet on starting a dye garden and instructions on how to dye at home along with the face scrub made in the class.

Sliding scale: $45-$65

This workshop will be held in Newburgh, NY - the address will be emailed to participants a day or two before the date.
