Natural dyeing

Students will explore natural dyeing with plants found on the farm: madder root and black walnut. They will learn the process from gathering to preparing the dye bath, using mordants and examining the effects on different fibers. Students will be encouraged to bring a garment from home to dye and natural fibers for dying will be provided.

Students will gather fall vegetables from the garden for a farm to table snack and with extra to take home.

$65 per student (Mordants, dyes and fibers will be provided)

Suggested for ages 7 & up
