AARP Eye Center
Discover the beauty of plant-based dyeing! From golden yellow to robin’s egg blue, learn how to grow, process, and dye naturally in this fun workshop.
About the Event
Join AARP Vermont and the Vermont Garden Network for a colorful, hands-on introduction to plant-based natural dyes.
Learn beginner-friendly techniques for creating vibrant hues—from golden yellow to robin’s egg blue—using dye plants you can grow yourself. We’ll cover the basics of mordants, after baths, and over-dyeing on natural fibers, giving you the confidence to start your own dye projects. Each participant will create their own sample color palette with wool yarn and also take home a silk handkerchief dyed with their favorite color.
No prior experience needed; just bring your curiosity and a willingness to explore the rainbow!
