palette. An entirely organic process, we can produce an extensive variety of shades. Please bring sample swatches of natural
fibers and collect some plants like Goldenrod, Sumac berries and walnut hulls. Marigolds, onion skins, Black-eyed susies
and oak barks are wonderful dye substances too. We will dye 2 silk scarves. Materials fee: $ 25.00 |
