Scouring, Mordanting, and a Natural Dye How-To – Pilchuck Campus Crafts Workshop
Date: September 13, 2025 10:00 AM –4:00 PM
This workshop will be information heavy. We will dive into the details and focus on the information that ensures you will be able to create your own lasting color on cotton. By the end of the workshop, workshop participants will learn to prepare cotton fabric for the dye bath, as well as prepare their own dye pot.
In this all-day workshop, we will cover how to scour and mordant on cotton. We will also cover applying natural color to cotton, with an emphasis on immersion dyeing. Participants will walk away with two naturally dyed cotton bandanas that they prepped and dyed during the workshop.
