Nature Palette: Ink and Dye Making from Local Plants

Discover the art of creating color directly from nature in this one-day hands-on workshop, where you’ll learn how to extract pigments from plants native to Saudi Arabia’s Eastern Province and make your own natural inks and dyes. 
Guided through each step of the process, you’ll explore how mordants and modifiers influence color, uncover the unique palette offered by local flora and experiment with transforming raw materials into creative tools. 
By the end of the session, you’ll gain the skills to continue making inks and dyes at home and take with you a set of handmade inks and dyed fabric samples ready to inspire your next artistic exploration.
