About

Fairbanks Fiber Festival Class

Instructor: Blaine Lunsford

Bundle dyeing is a technique that involves wrapping fabric with plant materials, such as petals and leaves, and allowing their natural pigments to infuse the fabric. In this process, the fabric is tightly bundled with various plant materials, and then steamed or boiled to transfer the natural pigments to the fabric. Vivid colors and intricate patterns are created, making each piece a unique work of art. Each participant will dye their own large habotai silk piece.
