Join us for dirty dyeing with fiber reactive dyes!
Get down and dirty with this immersion dyeing class that is a bit looser in approach. Students will learn the basics of how to color fabric using a dye bath. It is a good introduction to the process of immersion dyeing, with no mathematical equations to create a re-produceable color. Color is free and loose.
Students will dye different types of fabric and yarn to see how each fiber accepts the color. Student will walk away with color samples.
