# Event Details - **Event Name**: Botanical Alchemy: A Dye Workshop From Garden to Fabric - **Event Start and End Date**: Thu, 24 Sep, 2026 at 06:00 pm – Thu, 24 Sep, 2026 at 08:30 pm (-07:00) - **Event Description**: Create vibrant, one-of-a-kind textiles using locally foraged botanicals in this hands-on bundle dyeing workshop.About this EventJoin us for a seasonal botanical bundle dyeing workshop where you’ll transform a cotton bandana using fresh and locally harvested flowers, leaves, and natural pigments.In this workshop, you'll explore an alchemical process that transforms seasonal plants into beautiful, naturally dyed textiles. This time of year offers an abundance of vibrant leaves, and botanicals—making it the ideal time to discover the rich colours and unique impressions readily available in our backyards.Working with locally foraged and seasonal plants from the Nikkei Centre garden, you'll learn how to extract pigments and create striking botanical prints onto a 24" square cotton bandana. As natural pigments are transferred onto the fabric, each petal, leaf, and botanical element leaves behind a unique impression, creating a wearable textile that reflects the beauty of the season.While your botanical bundles steam, you'll explore additional ways of capturing the beauty of seasonal plants through botanical mark-making and printing techniques. Inspired by Japanese traditions such as Hapazome (hammering pigment onto cloth), you'll experiment with fresh flowers and leaves to create unique impressions and small mementoes.This immersive workshop blends artistry, experimentation, and joyful discovery, encouraging you to slow down, observe the natural world, and embrace the unexpected beauty of botanical dyeing. You'll leave with a one-of-a-kind hand-printed textile and a deeper appreciation for the colours that surround us every day.All materials included https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events8/banners/6af7c430-a754-11f1-b98f-cbeba3585b3a-rimg-w555-h740-dcc8c8b8-gmir.jpg About the InstructorNaomi Yamamoto of Flight Path DesignsNaomi Yamamoto earned her Bachelor of Fine Arts with distinction from the Fibre Program at the Alberta College of Art and Design.
