Have you ever wondered what the benefits are to using natural dyes? Today's episode will help you dip into some colourful lessons and hands-on activities with your learners. Our guest, Sarah Graham, guides us through the process of natural plant dyeing and tackles questions like:
How does the process work from start to finish?
What is your favourite plant to make a natural dye?
Which plants should we avoid using?
What are your best tips and strategies in terms of classroom management when engaging in these type of lessons?
Sara Graham is an artist based in Port Moody, BC, Canada whose primary concern is with the issues and ideas of the contemporary city. One of her central engagements in her practice is in the mapping of place and how the city and landscape interconnect with our everyday lives. She has been a practicing artist for twenty-three years and exhibited her work across North America. Sara was recently announced as the artist who will create a large scale public artwork at the new Gordie Howe International Bridge in Ontario. The artwork will be incorporated into the façade of the Energy Complex Building at the Canadian Port of Entry.
Come listen to Sara discuss how to dye with plants and flowers and how we could do, as classroom teachers, engage in other place-based and arts-based lesson ideas afterwards. Enjoy!
