Striking Scarves: Natural Dye and Shibori Workshop with Serafima Zavorotny and Fiona Ferguson

Brighten up the winter months with natural dyes this February. Learn how to use plants to create vibrant, wearable art in this introduction to dye making. Participants will explore common natural dyes like madder and weld, learn how to achieve long lasting color, and experiment with making simple dyes at home with kitchen scraps like avocado skins. Experiment with shibori (Japanese tie dye) techniques to create fun patterns on test pieces, then jump into creating a functional fiber arts piece.  Leave the workshop with a custom dyed silk scarf, created by you! 

Class registration fees include admission to the Whatcom Museum, supplies for the class, and a dyeable silk scarf to take home with you.  

All workshop registrations are final and non-refundable, but you may transfer your spot to another person by notifying us in advance.
