Natural Dyes & Herbal Sachet Wildcrafting Workshop with Northwest Natura
Please join naturalist and botanist, Jazmen Yoder for a day of foraging and wildcrafting in this indoor/outdoor workshop. This course will focus on teaching you how to dye wool with nature’s offerings. Pre-treated wool sheets* will be provided to all participants to use in the dyeing portion of this workshop. *Pre-treatment steps will be discussed at length during our lesson so that everyone knows exactly how to treat fabric before using natural dye in the future.
We’ll spend some time outside during the first portion of this course looking for plants, mushrooms, and lichen that can be used to make natural dyes. We will forage one or two species while we’re out and take the materials back to the venue to process and begin the second portion of the workshop. In the final portion of this class, you will make a sachet of aromatic herbs using pieces of your dyed fabric.
