This is the fourth event in a series of Natural Dye Workshops with artist Madelaine Corbin.
Get ready to learn more about the fascinating world of natural dye at Pine Meadow Ranch Center for Arts & Agriculture.

This one-day workshop will introduce participants to the fundamentals of bundle dyeing, ecoprinting, and plant printing. Attendees will have the opportunity to experiment with each method, creating two samples—one in silk and one in cotton—along with a finished and functional textile to take home. Explore the dreamlike imagery and colors achievable in bundle dyeing and ecoprinting, while also learning the unique method of plant printing accomplished by pounding the plant into pre-treated cloth. Discussions will cover fiber types, treatments for fixing color to cloth, and best practices for preserving natural dye prints, using plants cultivated specifically for their color at Pine Meadow Ranch.
All skill levels are welcome to join!
