Wildcraft Dyeing: Two-Eyed Seeing Natural Wool Dyeing

This hands-on learning opportunity invites participants into a relational and land-based learning experience rooted in natural dyeing practices. Through a Two-Eyed Seeing approach, participants will explore how Indigenous knowledge systems and Western science can come together to deepen our understanding of sustainable colour practices.

Grounded in respect for the land, this workshop supports participants in reconnecting with natural materials and learning how to work with plants and mushrooms in a responsible and reciprocal way. Whether in indoor or outdoor settings, this experience offers an opportunity to slow down, learn from the land, and reflect on how creative practices can support sustainability, cultural awareness, and community connection.

Participants will be guided by experienced facilitators who bring together teaching, artistic practice, and land-based knowledge to create an engaging and adaptable learning environment.

In this experience participants will:

• Learn how to responsibly forage and process natural materials for dyeing

• Explore natural dyeing techniques using plants and mushrooms

• Understand the principles of Two-Eyed Seeing by blending Indigenous knowledge and scientific approaches

• Gain practical tools to integrate natural dyeing into classrooms, artistic practices, or community programming

• Reflect on sustainability, reciprocity, and their relationship to the land through creative practice

• Learn universal weaving techniques (no cultural ties)
