Alberta Mycological Society

In this 2 hour workshop participants will explore eco-bundle dyeing and the art of infusing natural pigments onto fibers. Join fibre artist, Serah Hedin and share in the magical beauty of natural colour.

You will learn about the natural dye process from start to finish. Each student will create a unique bandana using natural dye stuff – steam, unroll and enjoy! While bundles steam, we will talk about natural dyes in our homes, gardens and local areas, as well as mushroom dyes.

Students are welcome to bring in their favorite flowers to explore using in the bundle. Each participant will leave with a pamphlet on natural dyeing and a bundle dyed bandana.

All ages, children should be accompanied by an adult. If an adult and child would like to make their own pieces please purchase two spaces. All materials included.

Serah Hedin is a fibre artist based in Calgary, AB.

Working at the intersection of traditional craft and ecological inquiry, she explores colour through foraged plants, mushrooms and historical dye materials.

Her work reflects a reverence for slow processes and seasonal rhythms, with each hue carrying the story of its origin.

Hedin studied Fibre Arts at the Kootenay School of the Arts in Nelson, BC and weaving at the University College of the Fraser Valley in Abbotsford, BC.

She continues to develop her practice through independent study and mentorship with artists across Canada, the United States, Mexico and Europe.

Her next journey takes her to the 21st International Fungi and Fibre Symposium in Riga, Latvia next August 2027.
