Eco-Craft and Natural Dye Maker Table

Saturday September 24, 2022

Time: 2pm-7pm

Join the Manitoba Craft Council and the C2 Centre for Craft for Nuit Blanche!

Natural Dye Maker Table: Experiment with bundle dyeing using whole plants at the C2 Centre for Craft. Participants will create a design with whole plants, leaves, and flowers on cotton at our Maker Table, then can simmer their dye bundle at home to reveal the colours inside the plants. This environmentally friendly all-ages craft will be free to visitors while supplies last.

Eco-Craft: Eco-Craft is a creative, cross-disciplinary collaboration addressing what is arguably the biggest challenge facing our generation: climate change. Eco-Craft features craft artists paired with scientists working in environment-related research to create work that addresses environmental crisis from a variety of angles.⁠

The C2 Centre for Craft is located in what we now know as Manitoba, the ancestral lands of the Anishinaabeg, Ininiwak, Dene, Anishininewuk, Dakota Oyate, Inuit Peoples, and the national homeland of the Red River Métis. These lands include territory subject to Treaties 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 10.

Craft occupies a space that has the hand and the handmade at its centre. It rejoices in sharing knowledge and solving problems. It stems from, creates, and nurtures community. It allows us to build bridges through shared action, but also fosters courage, empathy, and connection.

We acknowledge the deep harm caused by settlement, and we look forward to using craft in our efforts towards reconciliation and positive change.
