Ecoprinting and Dying Workshop

August 21 @ 6:00 pm - 8:00 pm

Free
Have you ever wondered how people of the past created such vibrant clothing without modern technology? Join Nebraska Game and Parks for an immersive workshop connecting creativity to sustainability! In this hands-on session, participants will explore multiple ways that plants can be used to dye textiles. We will get the chance to create our own personally dyed bandana’s using the power of the sun to extract the dyes from the plant materials. As well, we will design our own tote bags with Nebraska plant species through the art of hammering flowers and leaves.
** Due to limited supplies and space, participation is limited to 20 people**
*******REGISTRATION IS CLOSED*******
We have met our maximum number of participants for this event. If registrants are unable to make it, we may reopen registration closer to the event date.
If you are not sure that you can attend, please wait to register.
Registrants for the workshop must be 18 and older.
While free of charge for participants, this workshop has a limited capacity due to the supplies that are provided. However, donations to support our host, Prairie Pines Nature Reserve, are greatly appreciated and can be made at the event or here https://checkout.square.site/…/QIEAHPCQJKUNWJ7C577WJE77.
*Participants may feel free to bring their own leaves and flower specimens for the ecoprinting station. Some materials will be included, and time will be given for participants to forage for specimens on sight.
If you have any questions, please email Laura Casne at laura.casne@nebraska.gov
