Patricia will be sharing her process for eco-dyeing gourds, a natural dyeing technique that uses plant materials to transfer color onto the surface of gourds. For example, rose leaves were used to create the design on the egg gourd shown in the photo. She has asked participants to bring a 10 x 10 piece of Styrofoam, as she will be providing everything else, including the egg gourds themselves.
