Seed Bombs
Oxygen Art Centre 3-320 Vernon St, Enter from Alley, Nelson, British Columbia V1L 4B7
Alongside Oxygen Art Centre’s Fall semester, the artist-run centre presents three, free, artist-led
workshops exploring natural dyes and land-based processes.
Entitled “Seed Bombs,” this workshop series takes place over three Saturdays during the Fall semester with local artists Tracy Fillion, Keiko Lee-Hem, and Jaymie Johnson.
The first event is scheduled for Saturday, September 20, 2025, from 1:00pm to 3:00pm. Tracy Fillion starts off the series with a botanical print on cloth workshop.
In this hands-on workshop, participants will explore how to identify suitable fibres for plant dyeing and how to properly prepare cloth for plant dyeing and eco printing.
Fillion will also discuss dye plants, ethical harvesting practices, and working in harmony with seasonal and local materials. This is an incredible opportunity to learn from textile artist Tracy Fillion in a supportive and creative studio environment.
Using locally grown flowers, each participant will have the opportunity to design and create their own botanically printed cotton bandana to take home.
