Beautifully Bound: Creating Naturally Dyed Silk Ribbons with Rebecca Zaremba of Northeast Dyeworks

Artful ideas for your holidays

Join Rebecca Zaremba of Northeast Dyeworks for a seasonal natural dye workshop exploring the art of creating beautiful, nuanced colors on silk ribbons. Using plant-based dyes made from readily available botanical materials, including dried onion skins and avocado pits and skins

saved throughout the year, you’ll transform simple silk into one-of-a-kind ribbons in warm, earthy hues, perfect for tying into generous bows and adding a special touch to holiday gifts.

You’ll leave with your own collection of naturally dyed silk ribbons, along with inspiration for creating thoughtful, beautifully wrapped gifts using natural embellishments and simple, creative finishing touches. No previous experience with natural dyeing is necessary. Come enjoy a morning of botanical color, creativity, and handmade holiday details! Your ticket price includes admission to museum and our seven galleries!

Rebecca Zaremba is the maker behind Northeast Dyeworks. Inspired by a lifelong love of nature, her work centers on translating the beauty of plants and flowers into lasting color on textiles, creating pieces that reflect both place and season. When she isn’t working with botanicals, she can be found teaching and learning alongside tiny humans as an early childhood educator. She lives in East Sandwich with her husband and son, where she’s continually inspired by the natural world around her.
