Sea Urchin Fabric Dyeing Workshop with Seelie Studio

Saturday, May 25, 12 - 3 pm
Mendocino Art Center

Join us for the unforgettable experience of making natural dye from purple sea urchins foraged from the waters surrounding Mendocino Art Center. Artist Margaret Seelie will share how to combine ancient Polynesian dye practices and chemistry to create a salmon pink dye. You’ll dye a silk scarf and then use water marbling techniques to add swirls of monochromatic color. 

Your attendance is helping to thin the overpopulation of purple urchins and restore California kelp forests, so thank you.

Capacity: 15
