Botanical Bundle Dye Workshop

Curious about natural dyes but not sure where to start? This beginner-friendly workshop is the perfect introduction to the vibrant world of botanical color. Students will be guided through the process of bundle dying by local artist Pam O’Dea. Bundle Dying is a simple hands-on technique where flowers, leaves and natural dye powders are layered into fabric, wrapped, and steamed to create a stunning one-of-a-kind pattern.

In this class, you’ll work with richly hued plant-based dyes like logwood (deep purples), brazilwood (bright pinks), and hibiscus (rich reds), and leave with your own naturally dyed silk scarf to take home.

No experience needed, all materials are provided, and you’ll leave with the confidence to keep experimenting on your own!

Instructor: Pam O'Dea Pam is a Columbus based mixed media artist and co-owner of Good Dea Craft School. She began her artistic journey in textiles in the late 90’s with sewing and bag making. Pam spent a decade as a portrait photographer, working with models from Ford and other agencies across the United States. Her fascination with discovery and adventure led her to Wyoming where she specialized in beading and semi-precious stone jewelry. Natural healing through sound, vibration, and meditation led her east where she studied Acutonics and spent years as a guest artist at Curve Studios in the River Arts District of Asheville, NC. She returned to Columbus in 2022 to share her art with informative and unique project-based classes. Pamela is a testament to what can be accomplished without formal training, she encourages artists to follow their passions and never be afraid to begin a new artistic journey.
