my friend Liz (also a wonderful SCAD fibers alum) and i are getting ready to do a natural dyeing workshop coming up in July for the parents of the SCAD Summer Seminar campers. we decided that it was only right to pick our own blackberries locally (for only $3/lb!) to use for one of our dye-baths. we're also planning to use tea and onion skins-- which results in a great goldish yellow color on natural fabrics.
so we convinced our boss (this guy) to let us go and "get supplies" yesterday... which resulted in ~13 lbs of blackberries from the Bamboo Farm and Gardens here in Savannah-- so now we have plenty of berries for our dye bath AND perhaps a blackberry cobbler or some jam!
(only a fraction of the berries!)
