Foraging and Dyeing with Plants and Mushrooms: Blending Traditional Coast Salish Knowledge with Science

This in-depth, fun workshop will introduce workshop participants to the magic and wonder of natural dyeing using local sources. Workshop participants will learn the basics of foraging for dye materials as well as how to use these in practice to create beautiful colours. The workshop is a balance between traditional Coast Salish ecological knowledge and western science. Both perspectives provide students opportunities to deepen their connection with the natural world. Workshop taught in partnership with Rita Kompst of the Musqueam Nation.

Booking information will be available soon through the Museum of Vancouver events program.
