About the event

Workshop: Dyeing with Goldenrod with Aaron Sanders Head
In this workshop, Aaron will share how to coax and harness color from foraged goldenrod, an often misunderstood plant here in Alabama. We’ll start by going out to some of Aaron’s favorite goldenrod spots to talk about how to best identify and forage for Goldenrod. Aaron will cover how to prepare your fabrics through scouring and mordanting, and how to best pass beautiful goldenrod color onto both protein and cellulose fiber in a long lasting way. Aaron will also share various pH modifications to expand the goldenrod palette.

Participants will be provided with a yard of mordanted fabric, and are encouraged to bring several additional natural fiber items for dyeing. These can be undyed fabric, clothing, linens—just make sure they are natural fibers, and you pre-wash thoroughly before the workshop. Participants should also bring high-sleeved rubber gloves and dress to get a little messy. Spots are limited and pre-registration is required.
