Canby Public Library presents a workshop that will introduce participants to numerous natural dyes and how to use them in unique combinations to create stunning, sustainable color. Participants will experiment with different plant matter, including flowers, bark, roots, and other natural materials, to learn in a hands-on way how the dye process works. Using natural materials like plants for dyes, instead of using harsh chemical products, can be a sustainable practice by reducing pollution, conserving resources, and minimizing waste. This workshop also connects individuals to nature and fosters a deeper appreciation for the environment, in addition to supporting local communities by preserving traditional plant knowledge.

This event is supported by a Mini Grant for Rural Libraries from Oregon Humanities.
