Join me on a foraging trip (Part 2) in the beautiful mountains of Central Idaho to search for color from birch trees. Learn to identify and differentiate birch from aspen and how to ethically collect birch bark for your dye pot. The natural tannins in bark bond wonderfully with textile and create a range of beige and tan colors. After exploring the landscape of the Big Wood River in search of birch, this tutorial will show you how to brew dye with the resulting color swatch samples (cotton & silk) with various mordants. As an added bonus, you will learn how to create an all-in-one mordant within the dye itself to expand your color palette.
