Come discover the beauty of dyeing with acorns!

In this hands-on workshop with Angie Choly, you’ll learn the basics of immersion dyeing and use locally collected acorns to dye a pair of cotton socks.

We’ll experiment with shifting half of the dye bath with a mordant to create beautiful slate greys and inky tones. You’ll leave with your own naturally dyed socks and a new appreciation for acorns! 

Sliding scale admission of $10 to $35 includes all materials. Please email yatesgarden@victoriadra.ca to register.
