FABRIC DYEING WORKSHOP
COLOR BY DESIGN
CHOICE OF TWO DATES:
Thursday, June 6 or Friday, June 7 9:30am – 3:30pm
Join Sharon Wasteney, educator, author, quilter and creative thinker in this hands-on workshop at her home. Learn to use fiber reactive dyes on cotton fabric using two different methods with separate results. Use “recipes” as well as your own color choices to dye 2 yards of prepared for dyeing cotton fabric (provided). Colorfast and wash fast finished fabric is uniquely yours ready to be used in your next quilting project.
Participants will bring the following:
• Mask (for use when using powdered dyes)
• Protective gloves (to avoid dyed cuticles!)
• 3 shoe box size plastic containers with lids (approx 6” x 12” x 4”)for dyeing and taking home your projects
• 1 yard of your own “ugly” fabric or equivalent of vintage linens to creatively reinforce the techniques learned. FABRIC MUST BE PREWASHED 100% NATURAL FIBER like cotton, silk, linen, bamboo or rayon but not wool. (If you bring a blended fabric like a poly/cotton blend the polyester will not take the dye but the cotton will.)
• Sack lunch
Participants will go home with:
• 2 total yards of cotton fabric
• 1 yard equivalent of participant fabric
• A written outline of the processes and resources necessary for personal use
• A happy smile!
