Wrapped in Red: Silk Scarf Dyeing With Natural Dyes
Annex 1, Pamela Feldman, artist and educator
In this one-day class, students will learn about two different natural red dyes: cochineal, a blue-red dye from the Americas, and madder, an orange-red dye from Asia Minor. We will combine these two dyes to produce a unique red color on a silk scarf. Each student will dye a large silk scarf to take home. Scarf and dyes are included in the class fee. A short supply list will be sent to each student. Cost is $99. Chicago Botanic Garden members pay $79.
