10AM to 3PM

Botanical Colors

503 S Michigan St, Ste B

Seattle WA 98108

Join us Saturday December 7th from 10am-3pm at Botanical Colors Studio for an immersive workshop with Britt Boles on the art of plant to handcrafted pastel. Learn the history of pastel, binder and fixative recipes, and create your own set of plant-based soft pastels with Botanical Colors premium pigments and natural dye lakes.

About your teacher:

When Britt was a child, her mother gifted an old box of pastels that opened a door to a world of connected color. Says Britt “Pastel is true raw pigment connection and it colors your hands just as much as it colors the page…no intercessory is needed, you are the application tool. I revel in the process of seed to plant to pigment to pastel journey- a beautiful life cycle.”

Britt has been making handmade pastels from her homegrown natural dye pigments and teaching the Art of Pastel for the past 5 years.

Our May 2025 The Colors of Bali and Indonesia
with Threads of Life: Traditional dye practice and indigenous textiles IS NOW LIVE!

Overview of The Colors of Bali and Indonesia
Our group will be led by Kathy Hattori and @CaramariePiazza of Botanical Colors, and Jean Howe and William Ingram of @ThreadsofLifebali. Our studio instructors include talented Indonesian textile teachers from Threads of Life and affiliated artisans, who have worked with Jean and William for many years.

This tour provides an opportunity to meet and learn from Indonesian artists and indigenous communities with insight and connections that will endure long after our visit is over.

Studio time includes instruction in batik using traditional stamps and drawing tools, clamped, wrapped and stitch resist with indigo, and a traditional weaving demonstration and opportunity to meet a master weaver. There will be ample time to work on personal projects during studio sessions.

Working where dye plants are grown at scale, this tour offers a unique opportunity to work with large volumes of indigo-bearing plants and dye in large indigo vats.
