In this one-day workshop, you will experiment with:
- dyeing a mixture of sample yarns, pre-felts, silk and wool fabrics and fibres using acid dyes
- over-dyeing and simple clamping
- mixing pigments in a variety of ways to create a larger and more personal palette of colours.
At the end of the day, you will have a range of sample pieces which you can incorporate into other work or keep as a record in a sketchbook to develop further in future.
The price of the class includes a pack of sampler size fabrics and fibres and all dyes.
This class is suitable for all abilities; no prior experience of dyeing is required.
