Join Beth Mort of Snapdragon Flower Farm and learn how to create simple dye baths with dried dye flowers on pre-mordanted (this is an important process you’ll learn about in class) silk and repurposed cotton. We will discuss how to prepare for the purest hues and learn different ways of resist binding to create beautiful patterns in your dye projects.
In addition to working with a variety of dye flowers grown on Beth’s farm you’ll learn about the easiest to grow and best pigment plants for your garden, not just growing tips but also harvest and processing for dye projects all year long. You will learn the basics of preparing fabrics for natural dyes and also create a small bundle of pressed flowers to keep for your future dye work.
You’ll leave with your hand-dyed silk scarf and cotton bandana as well as seed of some of Beth’s favorite dye plants for the 2026 season.
