Julie Beeler conceived of the Bloom & Dye workshop series to grow her work and passion to benefit what she values most: curiosity, education, creativity, collaboration, community, and the environment.
Step into the vibrant world where art and ecology meet. In this hands-on, two day workshop you’ll discover the hidden spectrum of color within wild mushrooms and learn how to transform them into dyes, pigments, inks, and paints. Explore sustainable practices while experimenting with mushroom dye techniques, lake pigments, and ink making. Along the way, create a dye journal of swatches, craft a bottle of mushroom ink, and mull your own paint. Together, we’ll unlock fungi’s alchemy and leave with tools, recipes, and inspiration for future creative exploration.
