SUMMARY:Toothbrush Rag Rug
DESCRIPTION:Materials saved from the landfill:\nbedsheets\, fabric \nSkills you’ll learn:\nbuttonhole stitch\, starting + finishing a circular rug\, cutting fabric strips from bedsheets \nAlso referred to as “Amish knot” rugs\, toothbrush rugs get their name from the tool used to make them.

In this class\, you’ll learn how to begin a circular toothbrush rug\, how to make the Amish knot or buttonhole stitch with a Perennial-made replica of the toothbrush needle\, and how to finish off your project. You will leave class with a small rug that you can either use as a trivet or continue to build at home as large as you want it to be! We will also show you how to make fabric strips out of repurposed fabric or bedsheets for your project. \n

SUMMARY:Intro to Natural Dyeing
DESCRIPTION:Materials saved from the landfill:\nfabric\, onion skins/food waste\, rusty nails \nSkills you’ll learn:\nprocessing dye materials\, dye resist techniques \nNatural dyes are a beautiful and sustainable way to bring color to textiles. In this workshop\, natural dye artisan Erin Luna will show you how to create dye baths from locally foraged plant matter. Participants will learn how to process a few readily accessible dye materials\, like black walnuts\, goldenrod\, and onion skins (subject to seasonal availability)\, to create hand-dyed fabrics in a neutral color palette including shades of yellow\, olive green\, brown\, and black. Participants will be able to create test strips from each dye bath to keep for future reference. We will also provide a few larger pieces of fabric\, such as repurposed bandanas made of 100% natural white cotton that have been prepared in a mordant. Participants will learn some dye resist techniques as well as the use of an iron modifier to change the dye color results. \n
