Bundle Dyeing Workshop at Outdoor Design – Guilford

September 26, 2024 @ 6:30 pm - 8:00 pm

$75

Join fiber artist and natural dyer Laura Berkowitz Gilbert of Tocco Studio at the beautiful store Outdoor Design, on the Guilford green and discover a whole new way to decorate with flowers!

In this workshop, we’ll unveil the secrets of bundle dyeing, a technique that harnesses the power of steam to infuse plant-based color onto fibers. Not only does this method yield stunning patterns, but it has an added ecological benefit of using less water than a typical dyebath.

You’ll witness the magic, as your botanical design transforms plain cotton tote bags into vibrant works of art. They will stand out at farmers markets, the beach or wherever you carry them!

Whether you’re a seasoned artisan or a curious beginner, join us for the fun! And enjoy an exclusive 15% shopping discount that night at the shop! Reserve your spot today!

Workshop includes a scoured and mordanted cotton tote bag and a variety of fresh and dried flowers and extracts.

What you should bring: a plastic bag to bring home wet fiber.
