Natural Dyes (Greenpoint Library)

Join us as we explore using natural materials, such as plants and insects (ethically sourced!), to dye fabric and yarn. We’ll discuss the scientific dyeing processes, mordanting different materials, and color shifting.
Our dyes are permanent, so dress accordingly. Bring your own apron if possible. All supplies included.
Come early, space is limited.
