Garden Scarves + The Essentials of Natural Dyes with Ivy Guild

Saturday, September 26 | 10am to 1pm

This workshop begins with a hands-on silk scarf-dyeing activity with botanical materials. As our scarves simmer, we will engage in a lesson about the basic processes associated with foraging and deriving natural dyes. 

About the Instructor: Ivy Guild

Ivy Guild is a contemporary artist and researcher working at the intersections of fine art, craft, and scientific inquiry. She values the slow-made, place-based, hand-derived, and foraged. Guild works in fiber, 2D and 3D mixed media, installation, ceramic, and glass. Her research centers on speculative ecologies and specimens through the critical lenses of queer and crip theory. From her upbringing in the Sonoran Desert to her current home in the Great Basin, the structures and beings in her work emphasize the alien qualities of the natural world: the uncanny, the queer, or the pseudosecure.
