An introduction to bundle dyeing and how to start a dye bath. Participants will learn how to bundle dye. A natural dye process in which materials like flowers, leaves, dye extracts and food scraps are placed onto fabric, wrapped, and then steamed to reveal colors and prints. Then we will learn how to start a bath with dye extracts and/or food scraps. Electricity will be needed for bundle dyeing and dye baths. Materials will be provided. NYC Parks GreenThumb hosts this event. We are proud to be the nation’s most extensive urban community gardening program, sustaining over 550 gardens throughout New York City. With GreenThumb’s support, community gardens are centers of environmental justice, ensuring that our city is fairer, safer, and greener for all. GreenThumb’s events are free and open to the public.
