Natural Dye Workshop at the University of Chicago Field Station- Open to the Public
Hey color enthusiasts and nature lovers! Join us for a relaxed three-hour session where we'll dive into the world of natural dyes. No experience needed – just bring your curiosity.
Here's what's going down:
Plant Hunting Adventure: We'll kick things off with a walk around the University of Chicago awesome field station. Spot cool plants, learn which ones make killer dyes, and gather some for our creations. It's like a treasure hunt, but for color!
Bundle Dyeing Magic: Ever wanted to literally wrap nature around your clothes? That's bundle dyeing! We'll use the flowers and leaves we found to create one-of-a-kind patterns. It's like tie-dye's cooler, eco-friendly cousin.
Dye Pot Experiments: Time to play mad scientist! We'll dunk different types of fibers into three natural dye baths and see what wild colors we get.
Take-Home Goodies: You'll leave with the start of your own dye swatch book (a color nerd's dream journal) and a sweet bundle-dyed scarf or handkerchief. Instant conversation starter at your next hangout!
Earth-Friendly Color Chat: We'll discuss why natural dyes are so rad for the planet. Synthetic dyes? Not so much. Get ready for some eye-opening facts that'll make you see your clothes differently.
This workshop is perfect for anyone who's into DIY, sustainability, or just wants a fun day out. It's hands-on, laid-back, and guaranteed to make you look at plants in a whole new way.
Space is tight (because cozy is better), so grab your spot fast. We've got all the materials covered – just show up in comfy clothes you don't mind christening with a splash of nature's paint.
Ready to get your color on? Let's make some eco-magic happen!
