Join us at the farm, Friday, June 20th @ 9:30am - 12:00pm, to create a custom designed eco-printed habotai silk scarf. We will use a variety of deciduous leaves gathered from the farm's surroundings to create colors and textures only available in nature.
Upon arrival we will discuss the various leaves and pigments that we use when eco printing and the prints that you can expect. Next, we will discuss design layout best practices. Lastly, you will design your scarf and learn our rolling techniques for sharp prints. We will then steam your piece for color extraction.
After steaming, we will unroll your scarf and experience the unexplainable awe of the leaves providing you dyes and pigments that appear as though they have been hand painted onto your fabric. Lastly, we will discuss the curing process and how to properly hand wash your scarf.
Your habotai silk scarf is scoured and mordanted before the workshop. The workshop focuses only on the creation of your eco-printed scarf and not fabric preparation.
You will leave the workshop with the scarf you design. The scarf will need to cure for approximately a week after the workshop and be hand washed according to provided instructions.
We will be dyeing the scarves with cochineal, logwood or black walnut during the workshop. Workshop participants will select their dye color preference.
Space is limited to 18 participants.

United StatesFun morning of Dyeing!
Loved the class and learning about the dyeing process with leaves and nuts and sticks along with my "sisters!" We had a blast and created absolutely beautiful scarves!!! Would do again!
United StatesBest workshop ever!
The entire workshop was fun. We learned about eco-dying silk and then selected our choice of plants and then created our scarf. I am so pleased with my beautiful scarf. Can’t wait to make another.
United StatesEco Printing
I thoroughly enjoyed eco printing my very own scarf. I learned so much from your instructions and got to walk away with a beautiful scarf! I also enjoyed wandering your beautiful garden.
United StatesFun day at the farm!
All the staff were so sweet and welcoming. They made our amateur artistic experience a joy. Watching as the others unrolled their scarves to see the results was almost as much fun as seeing mine. And now I have a most gorgeous botanical scarf!
