Join The Alchemy of Dyeing to learn how to convert your kitchen waste into natural dye. 

Participants will learn how to mordant(prep), dye and seal natural textile using the hot bath dye method to create an artistic, reusable cotton tote bag from discarded food scraps. 

Additional skills:

  • Distinguish between natural & synthetic textile.

  • Make tea-bags to reduce mess while dying.

  • Log your findings.

  • Preserve your food waste/dyes to make them last longer.

  • Dye in your own kitchens. 

Participants will be able to take their creations and leftover dyes home. Prior dyeing experience not required. 

The Alchemy of Dyeing is an immersive research platform and workshop conceived by fashion designer Mehru Khan and artist Nahla Tabbaa that dives into the alchemy of colour making, urban foraging, textile dyeing, chromophobia, taste making and other complexities around organic dyeing.
