Fall Color & Natural Dye

My natural dye workshop at Llama Adventures in Arena, Wisconsin was last weekend -- the perfect time to be downstate where there were still leaves on trees and the colors were spectacular.

The colors were great in the workshop, too!

This was a sampling workshop, and the group did an amazing job with the fast pace on Saturday.

On Sunday, they had more time to explore their own interests.

It's always fun to watch people who generally prefer exact measurements and predictable results embrace uncertainty....

...and those who generally roll the other way get into controlled-variable sampling mode.

From time to time "the girls" looked in on what was happening in the studio.

We ended the workshop with a short field trip to look at a stand of wild willow that, I suspect, will be used in dyepots ere long.
