Haystack Natural Dye

Natural Dye
on Fibers

During August of 2024, I participated in a 2-week natural dye workshop at Haystack Mountain School of Crafts in Deer Isle, Maine. Exploring methods of dyeing and print techniques as well as shibori, paper making, and laser etching. Taught by Kenya Miles and Rosa Ji Chang from Blue Light Junction, a community dye center and garden loated in Baltimore, MD.
