Natural Dyes & Charcoal Workshop with Josh Jensen

 October 25, 2025

Join us on October 25th from 1-5pm for a natural dye/charcoal making workshop with artist Josh Jensen. This engaging, social event invites you to explore how art materials can be made from the land around us. Using bark from UHA’s own apple tree, Jensen will demonstrate how to create natural dyes and guide participants through the process of dyeing fabric. You’ll also learn how to make your own charcoal using branches and trimmings from the same tree. Some pre-treated cotton and wool samples will be provided, but feel free to bring your own natural-fiber items to dye. Be prepared to get messy, spend time outdoors, and dress warmly.

Josh will provide a baked pie and some refreshments for us all to share!

Registration for the workshop is $20. Participants are encouraged to bring other materials such as paper, cotton, linen or wool to dye with, as well as tin cans with lids for the process of making charcoal.

(This workshop is weather dependant. If the weather doesn’t cooperate, the workshop will be pushed to Sunday October 26th.)
