Natural Dyes Workshop with Rebecca Burgess

It was a lovely spring day in Point Reyes Station for the workshop on natural dyes taught by Rebecca Burgess. The plant materials in dye baths prepared by Rebecca created an exciting array of colors on samples of wool yarn and silk scarves. Plants used included indigo (blue), toyon (orange), black walnut (brown), fennel (soft green), french broom (soft green), and coffee berry leaves (yellow).
