Join Erin Berkowitz of Berbo Studio for a morning of natural dyeing with flowers collected from the grounds at The Huntington. Spring brings a rainbow of colorful blooms, and we’ll utilize their potent natural color to create vibrant prints on cotton socks. Participants will learn the accessible, fun technique of eco-printing—creating lasting prints with plant materials—and each participant will leave with their own colorfully printed pair of socks.
Appropriate for all levels of experience, this workshop blends creativity with plant and dye science. The intriguing and inspiring activity will foster appreciation for the beautiful blooms around us!
