PARK HILL, Okla. — Hunter’s Home will hold a workshop on natural dyeing and English paper piecing on Saturday, September 20, from 1-4 p.m.
Guests will learn how to dye fabric using methods and natural materials that were present in the 1850s. They will use American pokeweed berries and onion skin to dye the fabric fuchsia and yellow. Guests will create a floral English paper-pieced potholder with dyed fabric to show the potential uses of naturally dyed fabric in the 1850s.
