Event Description
Mushroom dye workshop with Alissa Allen of Mycopigments
Featuring special guest Liann Finnerty on Silk Design
Join us for an all-day exploration into North America’s best mushrooms and lichens for dyes. Using fungi and lichens found in all corners of North America, we will dye over 25 wool and silk samples.
Participants will learn about which mushrooms to use for dye and the best extraction methods for the optimal color range. You will also learn the techniques used for extracting dyes from lichens including several varieties of orchil (purple) dyes. Textile designer Liann Finnerty will show us how to transform our mushroom dyed silk scarves into works of art. Everyone will receive a silk scarf for practicing design techniques.
You won’t want to miss this special opportunity to explore the bright permanent dyes found in mushrooms and lichens while making a beautiful commemorative silk scarf. Cost is $90 and includes lunch. Sign up soon!
