Natural Dye Workshop

Share members receive a 20% discount on an on-farm Natural Dye Workshop led by Sayde Anderson.

Sunday, June 25, 1-4pm

In this workshop, we explore the process of natural dyeing on plant fibers. We will work with locally grown dye plants to create a range of colors on cotton and linen.

Cost of this workshop is $75 and is on a sliding scale. Workshops include a farm tour and some tasty treats along with a summer beverage. You will also have the option to pick your own flower bouquet to take home.

About your teacher:
Growing up in the foothills of Colorado, my childhood was infused with texture and natural color. From exploring the red and orange clay found on afternoon hikes to the native flower garden growing in our backyard, I learned to appreciate the biodiversity of plants and place from a young age. My work is a playful experiment of those early explorations. With a deep love for the earth and natural materials, I work at the intersections of plant-based color, textiles, and environmentalism. My evolving work in textiles and fibers seeks to create spaces to explore who we are as nurturers of the land and our communities. 

The curiosity and wonder of my childhood continue to ground my practice. I enjoy exploring forests and fields where I live in Durham, North Carolina, curious to see what plants or natural materials can extract a colorfast dye. I forage for and grow dye plants in my neighborhood and partner with a local flower farm. Throughout this process, I often use whole plants rather than extracts, so I have grown to understand the seasonal availability, growth cycles, and color potential of plants native to North Carolina. This knowledge allows me to develop color palettes specific to the seasons of the year and enables me to connect with the cycle of seasonal ecologies—both of which are foundational to my body of work.
