Join Carin Sauerwein of Dye on the Side for an evening of natural kitchen dyeing with vegetables, avocado pits, beans, and spices. In this two-hour workshop, attendees will learn how to dye fabric, identify and prepare items to achieve the best hues, and alter the finished color using fruit peels.
All supplies and materials will be provided and you will walk away with samples that you have made yourself, as well as the skills to dye your own well-loved items at home.
*Attendees should expect to get stains on clothing, and should dress with that in mind.
