Natural Dye Events
Flower Dye is available for private natural dye classes, pop-ups, wellness, corporate, or retail events, batchelorette parties, birthday parties and anything else you can dream up!
A typical dye workshop consists of about 3-5 different natural dye substances that are used to color a textile. This would be any of the items on the Natural Dyes page such as medicinal flowers, turmeric, chlorophyll, onion skins or cochineal. The participants are invited to bring stained or tired clothing from home to reinvigorate with natural color. We can provide objects for dyeing such as a silk scarf, a tote bag, a silk pillowcase or another useful or wearable object. Susanna teaches about the natural dye process and encourages students to get their hands in the color and explore. Some tie-dye techniques are taught to create interesting patterns on the fabric. We can also incorporate different flower dyeing techniques such as hapazome (flower pressing) and bundle dyeing where flower petals are steamed onto fabric.
Classes can be tailored to the setting and theme with colors, techniques, and duration.

Personal virtual classes are available via Zoom or FaceTime. In these classes you have an opportunity to work one-on-one with Flower Dye founder Susanna to answer any natural dye questions you may have. You are welcome to prepare questions ahead of time, or Susanna can walk you through the basics of how to begin your natural dye practice. She will tell you all the tools you need to begin, where to source products, how to create different colors, the ins and outs of how natural dye works on different textiles, and anything else you might want to know!
