Maybe you want guidance or like the opportunity to work alongside a virtual community.

Join in the digital course as natural dyer, Hilary L Hahn guides you through dye-stuffs: Pomegranate, Madder Root and Indigo. You will learn from videos and go-through the experience of natural dyeing in the studio process video. First, you will learn how to prepare your fabrics for dye and then learn from some the results of some of the dyers who participated in my Natural Dye Group.

This is a hands-on dye course, and we will focus on one dye per unit. I selected these 3 dye-stuffs as essentials because of the colors they yield and the endless possibilities of under-dyes and overlays.

The hues of golden pomegranate, vermilion madder root, and indigo blue hues makes this course a study in the primary colors of the world of natural dyes. If you would like to gain experience working with authentic dyes that can be colorfast and lightfast, then this is the course for you.

If you are a sustainable textile enthusiast or the owner of a fashion line, then this is the course to unlock your creativity while exploring new methods. You will see participants, up-cycle their current wardrobe or linens alongside you.
