This beginner level adult class will introduce the dye materials and techniques to make both indigo (blue) and coreopsis (golden) dye vats! We will prepare both cotton and wool for dyeing; and experiment with binding fabrics before immersing them in dyes. Our process will explore water conservation and how dyes can reinvigorate tired old fabrics.
We will provide all of the dye materials and cotton napkin blanks as well as wool samples for each person. You will receive an email after you register that will include more details on what you can expect, and what items you might bring with you to try in our vats. It will be so much fun to explore the color combinations that can be achieved when working with white cloth, blue, and yellow dyes!
Each dyer will receive a reference sheet to take home, so this journey can be continued!
