Natural Dyes
Using the late Frank Gerber's method (he's the God of vegetable dyes and who I learned the most from) of investigative dyeing, we will learn to examine the dye potential of prospective plant material.
This is a wonderfully simple and scientific method that involves 27 different procedures to see what colors can emerge from one plant source.
It's truly quite magical and interesting even to non-dyers.
