Explore dyeing with nature, specifically using the magical bundle dye methods.

In this workshop we talk about mordants and modifiers and how they relate to this particular dye method. 4 different pots will be prepared so that students can experiment the many ways you can use heat, steam, and minerals to bring different results and change the colors of plants and flowers.

All materials provided. Each student will leave with sample materials and one final piece.

Class runs about 2 hours and be prepared to possibly take damp work home. Class meets at Better than Jam in Bushwick!
