Dye a Kitchen Set with Food Waste
Create a spectrum of delicious colors from everyday foods. Artist Margaret Seelie will show you how to extract color from avocados and onion skins and then modify the dye to create new colors. You'll dye two linen napkins and a tea towel. No experience necessary; we love beginners!

*Optional: Bring your own natural fabrics! We agree with the Sea Ranch ethos of living lightly on the land and in the spirit of sustainability we would love for you to bring items from home that could use a breathe of fresh color. We’ll help you navigate naturally dyeing anything made form plants, like cotton or linen, or animals, like silk or wool, to get vibrant and lasting colors. Please note, all attendees must dye their linen items before we open the dye baths to BYO items.
