Natural Dye & Weaving Workshop
at the Sou’wester Lodge
with instructor Brooke Shepherd of Seawater Studio
Winter Solstice: Celebrate the return of the light!
Together in this workshop we will celebrate the cyclical and ever-changing seasonal offerings that nature generously provides in order to produce naturally dyed fabric and yarns.
Sat Dec 19 11am – 3pm
After a nature walk along the beach, where we will be gathering materials for our dye baths, we will prepare our fabrics and yarns using seawater as a mordant. Plants, shells, wood, old fishing hooks, most anything we find along the seashore will be used as a dye, resist, or decoration of your one-of-a-kind fabric.
Sun Dec 20 10am – 12pm instruction and afterwards Open Studio
Weaving workshop! We will first go on a walk to gather items to weave into our mini-tapestries. You will learn the basic techniques of weaving on a small loom and we will incorporate themes of winter, darkness, and light as you learn to create plain weave, rya knots, and shapes with hand dyed yarn.
All supplies provided. Families are encouraged to participate together.
Suggested donation $15 – $20 for adults; $10 for kids.
Sign up for one day or both days of this workshop.
Please RSVP souwesterlodge@gmail.com or 360 – 642 – 2542
We are located at 3728 J Place, Seaview, WA 98644
News from Martha:
“Hey Folks!
The last week of February, I will be doing a writing residency at the Sou’wester Lodge in Seaview, WA. It’s an amazing place and they gave me the opportunity to organize an event my last night there.
Kela Parker will be playing and Lizzy Acker, Hajara Quinn and Martha Grover will be reading.
Also performing: The Morals!

If you haven’t been to the Sou’wester, you should really come! It’s a one of a kind experience. If you mention the show when you call to make a reservation, you get a twenty percent discount!”

Tenderfoot is the art folk project of singer-songwriter Adam Boehmer. With an unabashedly romantic, lyrics-driven approach to songwriting, Adam excavates past relationships, growing up queer in the South, and living in the constant tension between city life and a natural spiritualism. Surrounding these themes with the lush dynamics of a full band, Tenderfoot becomes a potent emotional landscape.
