Most natural dyes come from plant sources like roots, berries, bark, and leaves, as well as other biological sources such as fungi. These dyes are biodegradable, non-toxic, and non-allergenic. They also have a much lower environmental impact compared to synthetic dyes.
So get hands on with natural dyes and create your own bundle-dyed silk square. Unlike standard dip dyeing, bundle dyeing allows you to arrange flowers, petals, leaves, herbs, and vegetables directly onto the fabric. This hands-on approach produces intricate patterns and a stunning array of colors, bringing nature’s beauty to life in your unique creation.

July 27, 3pm – 6pm
$77 – all materials included
Teens and adults
RVAC Kitchen Studios | 320 Wilson st.
Participants may choose to let their silk squares air dry at home, or at the gallery for future collection

KHC Summer Kicks- Garret T. Willie
2024-07-31 19:00 - 21:00 (America/Edmonton) | Keith King Park, 1501 Maple Dr., Golden, BC
Summer Kicks! Free outdoor concert in beautiful Golden BC.
Called “Canada’s next big thing in down-and-dirty, classic-rockin’ blues guitardom” by the Toronto Star, Garret T. Willie more than lives up to that purple praise. Hailing from tiny Cormorant Island just off the northeast tip of Vancouver Island, Willie was only 10 years old when he dazzled an Alert Bay Music Festival audience by scorching his way through a couple of AC/DC cover tunes. Jump ahead 13 years and Willie has a hit album out, and a reputation as a guitar star akin to Stevie Ray Vaughan or George Thorogood. No mere imitator, Willie is a thoughtful First Nations artist with a unique emotional truth – one that he unleashes in slow-burn ballads and powerful blasts of blues-rock fury. His great band features guitarist Brett Smith-Daniels, bassist Lucas Renshaw, and drummer Saha Enns.
