Capital Class "Natural Dyeing: Processes, Materials and Colors of Nature"

This workshop introduces the fundamentals of natural dyeing, exploring how plant and animal fibers react to dyes extracted from plants, barks, roots, and flowers. Through theory and practice, participants will learn fabric preparation, mordanting, dye extraction, and the use of modifiers, understanding the impact of temperature, time, and fiber type. The course also covers material measurements and proportions, demonstrating how each choice influences color, fixation, and the final result. It offers a clear, accessible, and sustainable perspective on the relationship between material, color, and technique.
