Learn the ancient, magical craft of plant dyes! Take a moment to pause and savour the bounty and beauty of summer. A time to come together and share in thanks for all that the season has gifted us and craft and weave flowers of the summer with our hands and hearts.
Join us for a day in the beautiful summer landscape of Jubilee Farm as we embark on a plant dye journey together. We will be communing outside as we learn the science of pre-treating our fabrics for dye (scouring & mordanting), dyeing with historical and cultural recipes of various different flowers, barks, and leaves, eco-printing with pressed flowers, learning to dye with natural elements, painting with plants, and more!
Alongside all of the plant magic we will be brewing, there will be time and space for relaxing, connecting, & frolicking!
Lunch will be provided with local fresh ingredients to nourish our bodies for the time we are together. We will be sharing these meals as a group together.
