Printing and Painting with Natural Dyes

Welcome to Printing and Painting with Natural Dyes! This class invites you into the vibrant world of botanical color, where nature becomes both palette and partner. Whether you’re a textile enthusiast, artist, or eco-conscious maker, this introduction to natural dyes class will help you understand how natural dyes work. In this fun workshop, participants will get a demonstration of how cellulose fibers and protein fibers work with natural dyes, how to make mordants to fix color, and techniques for transferring these dyes to fabric. Through hands-on exercises, they will learn methods such as block printing, resist dyeing, hand painting, and steam-setting color, all while experimenting with a wide array of natural dye extracts like madder, cochineal, logwood, and weld, to name a few. This class is rooted in sustainability and slow craft. You’ll not only learn artistic techniques but also gain a deeper appreciation for the rhythms of nature and the beauty of imperfection. By the end, you’ll have created your own naturally dyed textile pieces and built a foundational understanding of working with natural colorants. Let’s get our hands stained –in the best way– and discover what the earth has to offer! Materials: Participants will be provided with pre-mordanted (iron and aluminum acetate) fabrics: 2 pure cotton handkerchiefs, 1 bandanas, and 1 small silk scarfGloves will also be providedParticipants should bring: An apron or smockTwo articles of clothing and/or home furnishing fabric* like a pillowcase or cushion cover to experiment printing on with natural dyes*No synthetic or mixed fabric, just 100% cotton or linen that’s been pre-washed with mild soap Date: Saturday, Feb. 7 Time: 10 a.m. – 3 p.m. Fee: $145 (Member $140) Registration Deadline: Feb. 3 Instructor: Neha Bhatt, Teaching Artist Member Registration Non-member Registration About Neha Bhatt Neha Bhatt is a Teaching Artist with a deep passion for textile arts and creative education.

Orchid Daze: Living Canvas

Orchid Daze: Living Canvas, the Garden’s annual celebration of its beloved signature plant collection, opens on Valentine’s Day with a dazzling burst of color and fragrance filling gallery-like spaces. The exhibition transforms the Fuqua Conservatory and Orchid Center into three interlocking modernist galleries featuring vibrant orchid hybrids and culminates in a sumptuous display of the Garden’s permanent collection of species orchids. The latter, representing 2,000 species, is extraordinary in depth and breadth, reflecting the Garden’s commitment over the past 38 years to building its flagship plant collection. Upon entering the Conservatory Lobby, guests will experience a modernist-inspired gallery featuring a warm palette of yellow, tangerine and scarlet orchids. The gallery walls are embedded with living Cattleya, Dendrobium and Pansy orchids in portrait-like niches. Adjoining the Conservatory Rotunda is a grand glass hallway rising two stories. Here, the gallery becomes a labyrinth of walls with insets of graceful arching Moth Orchids and Cattleya orchids. The passage opens into a sunlit Atrium where the orchid palette changes to include yellow and wine-colored Slipper Orchids and Dancing Lady Orchids. A reflecting pond encircled by Zygopetalum orchids is framed by a pavilion of heavy beams and geometric orchid columns. Beds of fragrant orchids, bromeliads and other lush tropicals surround the interior. In the Orchid Display House, visitors are greeted with a cool-toned palette of pink Oncidium and blue-violet Dendrobium nobile orchids framed in a theatrical setting by shimmering translucent panels. After experiencing these galleries of stunning orchid hybrids – designed by Tres Fromme of 3Fromme Design, with assistance from Wilson Carroll of More Than Matter – guests are sure to be inspired to explore the Garden’s magnificent permanent collection of 2,000 orchid species, only about 10 percent of which are regularly on display. Orchid Daze brings this globe-spanning collection into view via two looping pathways meandering through the Orchid Display and Tropical High Elevation houses. Finally, the Orchid Display House leads to an interpretative gallery, where visitors will discover the behind-the-scenes story of the Garden’s orchid conservation efforts, learn about orchid biology and discover the history of the orchid collection and the Orchid Center.
