Workshops will take place on my two acre garden, in 709 Foxboro-Stirling Road, Foxboro, Ontario. I am about 2 hours drive from Toronto, and 20 minutes from Belleville. The best time for the workshop is during late summer and autumn, because that is when Monarch butterflies are beginning to migrate, colourful leaves, and plants are mature and for harvest.

Around mid-day, we will explore natural dyeing. We will be tannin the fibers with sumac leaves, and making a dyebath with plants growing in my garden.
