Free Natural Dye Workshop

Connect with nature and your community while learning skills in sustainability during this free, hands-on natural dye workshop outside the Santa Cruz Museum of Natural History. Using locally sourced examples of native and invasive plants, as well as kitchen scraps, we’ll explore how to select natural dye materials, prepare fabric, create dyes, and make patterns on natural fibers. All participants will create their own hand-dyed cotton bandana using the Japanese pattern technique of shibori.

This program is part of the Refocusing Ecology Series sponsored by the City Arts Recovery Design program.
