In this course, which meets on ten Saturdays from September to May, we design and sew garments using four natural fibers (cotton, linen, wool and silk) to create four items for a complete outfit. Drafting simple patterns and sewing by hand gives us an opportunity for meditative work and a chance to center ourselves. Over the course of the year we experience different sewing techniques, plant dyeing, and embroidery as we create our own unique fabric for our garments.
Participate in the end-of-season harvest of flowers, leaves, and roots from our biodynamic dye garden, and experience dyeing natural materials. Feel the healing energy from the plant world as you receive the beautiful colors from nature.
