Calgary Historic Week 2026
July 25th from 10:00 am to 2:00 pm
Austrian Canadian Cultural Centre - outside parking lot
In Alberta, natural dyeing is influenced by three key elements: Indigenous knowledge, the prairie landscape, and the modern craft movement. This hands-on presentation brings together both time-honored practices and contemporary techniques. Using locally sourced materials—golden hues from onion skins, soft greens from carrot tops, and bright yellows from marigolds—you’ll see how natural dyes can bring vibrant color to local wool.
