Instructional Guide - Kitchen Sink Natural Dyes
Food waste is more than just compost (although we love compost too)! Using kitchen scraps to create natural dyes is a wonderful way to get creative and get the most out of your food waste.
In this class, you will learn how to create dye baths using these materials so you can up-cycle stained and well loved clothing and other fabrics into colorful, sustainable pieces of art! Create vibrant and beautiful natural dyes from items in your kitchen. This guide provides instructions for onion skin (yellow or red) and avocado pits and skins.
I recommend to also purchase the “Natural Dye Process” guide if you would like to learn how to prepare and mordant your fibers- a necessary step to obtain colors that last.
You will learn:
Some types of food waste you can use to dye
Recommendations for collecting and storing your dye stuff
Instructions for creating dye baths with onion skins and avocado stones/skins
How to modify the colors obtained from your dye baths
Techniques for color variation and patterns
