INTRO TO NATURAL DYEING

Presented in conjunction with collective member Levi DeCoste’s solo exhibition Transfigurations, Intro to Natural Dyeing was held at SPACEMAKER II, Toronto, in July 2023. 

Facilitated by Levi DeCoste, participants learned steam bundle dyeing processes using found and salvaged plant matter, and experimented with Japanese flower pounding (“tataki-zome”) to create naturally dyed handkerchiefs. 

All materials were provided for a pay-what-you-can price, and guests went home with naturally dyed materials and an informational zine detailing the steam bundle dyeing process.
