Plant Pigment Lab, Saturday 9/13, noon-4:30 pm with local Artist Meredith Law
The magic meeting of botanicals & textiles. Enter the laboratory to test the boundaries of fibers & pigment. We will explore how botanicals interact with textiles using natural dyes, eco-printing, & shibori techniques. Harnessing the vibrant hues of nature’s bounty, you’ll create botanical prints & patterns on silk, cotton, & paper using flowers, leaves, & extracts.
Unlock the secrets of this eco-conscious art form & craft beautiful pieces to hang as art or wear. Your attendance fee includes a variety of materials to explore, plus 1 cotton bandana & 1 silk scarf. Additional wearable blanks will be available for purchase. No prior art experience is needed.
We will use local botanicals, silk & cotton ready-to-wear items, natural dyes, watercolor paper, & various tools to make the magic.
Materials are included. No experience is needed!
About your teaching artist:
Written by Meredith: I am an event designer, artist, and educator who finds endless inspiration in nature. I grew up in North Carolina gardening and exploring the woods. I spent the last 15 years in California getting to know every trail on Mt. Tam and every event venue in wine country. I loved the west, but am so excited to be settled back in Asheville again. With a BFA in sculpture and a degree in botany, my passion lies in collecting unusual pieces from nature and creating elegant things out of the unexpected. I help people reconnect with the natural world and rediscover their childlike sense of wonder—whether through immersive event designs, hands-on workshops, or creative education.
