Natural Dye Workshop: Marigolds & Madder Root with The Natural Dye Company

Waterloo Area Historical Society Farm Museum
Waterloo, Michigan
June 6, 2026

Join The Natural Dye Company at Waterloo Historical Society and spend the afternoon making something beautiful from nature. You’ll learn how to dye textiles using two plants you can grow right in your garden—marigolds and madder root—and walk away with a one-of-a-kind naturally dyed textile.

Choose your canvas: a silk scarf or cotton bandana. We’ll start by dyeing our textile in a golden yellow marigold dye bath, then use a shibori-inspired resist technique to create a simple pattern. Finally, our textiles will go into a rich, red madder root dye bath, creating a bright and vibrant contrast against the yellow. Every piece will be unique!
