Many of the plants which we now consider invasive species were brought to this country for a purpose. This workshop explores several invasive plants which can be used as natural dyes. There’s no guilt about peeling off the bark or pulling up the whole plant to make these dye baths. Students will learn plant identification, a bit of natural history and how to use these otherwise undesirable species to create beautiful colors. Each student will go home with a minimum of 8 different dyed skeins, approximately 25 yards each. The instructor will provide yarn and all dye materials, mordants and modifiers. Students should bring something to take wet samples home in.
