Salvaging Color: Dyeing with Kitchen Waste with Judi Pettite

  • Southern California Fibershed Los Angeles, CA (map)

Our kitchens create a lot of food waste…and some of it can live on as a garment dye, modifier or to feed your indigo vat. Citrus, coffee, onion skins, avocado pits and peels, overripe bananas and mushy pears are among the many items that can make one more stop before the compost heap. This three hour workshop will include a look at the assortment of foodstuffs that can be used as a fiber dye, and the best preparation to achieve desired results.
