Online Workshop: Foundation Course in Natural Dyes

Online Workshop: Foundation Course in Natural Dyes With Kathy Hattori

via Zoom Saturday June 7 & Sunday June 8, 2025
10AM-12PM Pacific Time

We invite you to join us for one of our most exciting classes: A Foundation Course in Natural Dyes.
One of the greatest pleasures in exploring natural dyes are the endless possibilities of creating color with plants and flowers. If you’ve been bitten by the natural dye bug, natural dyes will become a lifetime of learning for you. But first, you need a solid base.

In this online workshop, we will learn to create a beautiful and harmonious palette of hues using natural dye extract concentrates and foraged natural dyes that you find locally. You will see how easy it is combining shades and modifiers to create colors that can work on their own or form a foundation for fun experiments and discoveries. You will learn the tips and tricks that we use in our own practice and production studio and how simple changes can produce surprising results.

The class will work with the dyes and auxiliaries contained in the Botanical Colors Beginner Kit. However, you will also supply your own locally foraged dyestuffs (we show you how), and we provide a complete list of materials so if you already have the dyes, you can use them for the workshop.

We will emphasize how to create beautiful color using the least amount of water and energy possible along with guidance for keeping notes and samples and how to evaluate your results.

It’s easy to become overwhelmed, but there is a method to the natural color world. This is a class that will help you gain understanding and confidence with approaching your natural dye practice. We’ll be with you every step of the way!
