Events Description

 

 

This in-depth workshop will introduce workshop participants to the magic and wonder of natural dyeing using local sources. Workshop participants will learn the basics of foraging for dye materials as well as how to use these in practice to create beautiful colours. The workshop is a balance between traditional Coast Salish ecological knowledge and western science. Both perspectives provide students opportunities to deepen their connection with the natural world.

Each student will create a reference of dye samples to help guide further dyeing as well as their own sample skein to dye and take home.

Who is it for?

**In light of the new COVID 19 restrictions set out by the Provincial Health Officer (PHO), both workshops will require proof of vaccination.**
