Natural Dye Three Parter (Saturday 10-12 April 5th, 12th, 19th)
Natural Dye Three Parter
You all have asked for it, so here it is! This three part class will take you from fabric selection to mordant to creating a dye bath to actually dyeing your garment! Students are asked to bring a selection of white items of clothing (light colors are ok too) that are made with natural fibers such as cotton, linen, wool, silk ect.
Day One: Blues and Mordant
This day will be focused on creating beautiful blue tones from indigo. We will also be talking about mordanting fabric and preparing our fabric for next time. We will also be prepping a few dye baths for next class.
Day 2: Yellows and Greens and Browns
This day we will get to utilize the dye baths we prepared in the first class as well as talk about different methodologies around dye bath preparation and layering dyes. We will also prepare some dye baths for next time.
Day 3: Reds and Purples
Our last day will be spent experimenting with reds and purples, trying to achieve those historically sought after colors. Students will also receive dye materials to take home to continue to practice and learn with!
Saturday 10-12 April 5th, 12th, 19th ($80/person for all three sessions)
