Students will learn the basic chemistry and formulas behind natural dying and will learn to recognize native plants that may yield color. Weather permitting and depending on what plants are ready the weekend of the workshop, we will forage plants from the woods and fields at the Hambidge Center. This could include sumac, black walnut, tickseed, and/or goldenrod. Students will leave the workshop with a few yards of various fabrics, each with color yielded from whatever plants we find.
Coulter Fussell was born and raised in Columbus, Georgia. As the daughter of a museum curator and a prolific quilter, Coulter combines strict traditional quilting techniques with the freeing abandon of contemporary painting methods. Coulter draws inspiration for her work from the natural world. Her naturally dyed textiles utilize native plants that she forages from the woods and fields around her.
Coulter is the owner of YaloRun Textiles, a vintage fabric store and experimental textile studio in Water Valley, Mississippi where she lives with her two young sons.
