Lewis Ginter Botanical Gardens Adult Class: Dye Plants for Botanical Artists August 15, 2012

Students choose among the many flowers or plants for one that produces dye in their favorite color and learn how that dye is made. Students may choose to prepare a composition and paint or draw it in their chosen medium or make a small notebook containing samples of dyed materials and small drawings or paintings of plants. Guest speaker Judith Towers discusses craft dyes and dyeing, and students learn to prepare a solar dye bath. Instructors Celeste Johnston and Hazel Buys, both botanical and fiber artists, lead the class. A list of materials is sent after registration. Lunch is on your own each day. 4 sessions = 16 hrs. GES: BI, 16, elective
