In ten Saturday workshops from September to June, we design and sew four garments using four natural fibers (cotton, linen, wool, and silk) to create a complete outfit. Over the course of the year we experience different sewing techniques, plant dyeing, and embroidery as we create our own unique fabric and garments.

This workshop is an introduction to the dye plants and dyeing projects that are especially characteristic of the end of summer.

Using the decorative star stitch pattern and organic merino yarn plant-dyed at the Fiber Craft Studio, we will create a long wraparound cowl with three colors. Workshop participants will select their three colors from a wide selection available at the Studio. The resulting piece will be soft and light, yet warming. This two-part workshop meets on Sunday, March 26 and April 2, 2:00-4:00pm.
