Solar Dye Workshop with Norton Fredericks
10:30am to 12:00pm
Suitable for ages 18+
$35 - $40 + booking fee
Join artist Norton Fredericks and unlock the magical properties of natural dyes! In this artist-led workshop you’ll take a stroll with the artist through our exhibition Rearranged: Art of the Flower before returning to the studio to get hands on with natural dyes.
Here, Norton will walk you through native plants, their uses, the chemistry behind natural dyes, Norton’s arts practice and how they use earth pigments as mordants as well as some textile history.
Each participant receives a silk bandana, glass jar, twine, earth pigments and dye to make an original silk creation to take home.
All abilities welcome.
